The mountain is angry. Your beard is ready.

Deepforge Brawl is a top-down arena auto-shooter roguelite: your weapons aim and fire on their own, so every decision is about POSITION and BUILD. Kite the horde, grab the ore, and shape a run out of whatever the Forge offers between waves.

Eight dwarves, eight beards

Every class carries a signature Beard Power that charges in combat and unleashes on demand — the fuller the beard, the bigger the blast. Wall off the swarm with the Ironbreaker's orbiting bucklers, flood the floor with the Brewmaster's ale, or trigger the Prospector's Motherlode and watch the ore fountain. Plus: Ale Rage when you need to hit harder, Forge Dash when you need to not die.

• 17 auto-firing weapons — merge duplicates to tier them up; every weapon EVOLVES at top tier

• Burn, Chill and Shock the horde — combine afflictions to SHATTER frozen enemies or arc lightning through the pack

• 14 enemy archetypes with real jobs: menders that sustain the swarm, drummers that harden it, sappers that mortar your camping spot, coin goblins that flee with your gold

• 4 bosses, each with a pattern-flipping second phase

• Six depths of escalating difficulty — then ENDLESS mode to see how deep your build really goes

• The Runeworks: permanent meta-progression, opt-in curse pacts for the brave, and a Forge Hall full of trophies and cosmetics to earn

Runs that respect your time

Waves are 40 seconds. A run is 20 minutes. A "one more run" spiral is the whole evening. You always walk away with Runestones toward the next unlock, whether the Maw ate you or you ate the Maw.
