Ancient heroes
The key to adventure
Heroes are the foundation of the Builders & Warriors Universe. Every hero has stats, traits and equipment that players customize, and the same hero goes with you into every game and experience in the universe.
Fighters, rogues and mages, each built from our in-game models, ready for whatever comes next.
The realm of Hereval
A world of wonder
For thousands of years, Elves ruled a mighty empire through an age of legends and powerful magic. In the wake of the Worldbreak, the survivors struggled through darkness and terrible cold, and many lived only with the help of relics left over from the Fallen Empire.
The return of the sun, and the end of the dark clouds that hid the moon, brought the long winter of the Desolation to a close. Survivors are emerging from their keeps and warrens to explore and repopulate the land.
Forge a hero for the ages
Deep down below
Darkforge Dungeons is a roguelike dungeon crawler and the first game in the Builders & Warriors Universe. Quick, turn-based fights make it easy to drop in and drop out. Fight your way to the bottom of the dungeon and escape with loot to outfit and upgrade your hero.
Into the depths
Hereval is full of long-forgotten dungeons, packed with monsters, traps and special encounters. Fight with your skills and your wits.
Formidable foes
Living and undead, humanoids and vermin. Every monster brings its own tactics. Balance your food, supplies and abilities to get through the horde.
Loot and craft
Find rare materials, imbue your gear with powerful magic, and unlock new skills as your hero grows.
Darkforge Dungeons runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. No app to download, nothing updating in the background. It starts as fast as a web page loads.
Variety of play
A collection of games
Darkforge Dungeons is just the first. The universe is built for many kinds of games: RPGs, idle games, strategy games, card games and more, all sharing the same heroes and the same world.
A library of lore
Stories to tell

More than games
A passport beyond

Build a universe with us
Warhammer, Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering are owned by giant companies and closed off by licensing and lawyers. Builders & Warriors is meant to be different: an open fantasy world, with its branding, art and lore there for others to use as the basis for games, card games, minis and stories.
Let's make a fantasy world everyone can take part in.
