Hoplite

Hoplite brings a fresh and exciting twist to the roguelike genre, blending tactical turn-based strategy with traditional dungeon crawling. As a legendary Greek warrior, you must descend deeper into procedurally generated dungeons, battling fierce enemies and upgrading your skills to survive as long as possible. 

Tactical Turn-Based Gameplay

At its core, Hoplite is a turn-based strategy game where each movement you make can mean the difference between life and death. With small maps and enemies that become progressively harder, the game requires careful planning. Every step counts, and you’ll need to think ahead before making your move.

Unique Skill Upgrades

Unlike other roguelikes where you only collect loot or items, Hoplite gives you the ability to upgrade your skills as you descend deeper into the dungeon. You can enhance your movement, learn how to jump, or improve your spear/javelin proficiency. With each level, you become stronger, but so do the enemies, so choose your upgrades wisely to ensure survival.

Procedurally Generated Dungeons

Each dungeon in Hoplite is procedurally generated, offering a new challenge every time you play. No two runs are ever the same, ensuring that the game stays fresh and engaging. You’ll face new layouts, traps, and enemies every time, making each journey into the dungeon feel unique and unpredictable.

Challenging and Addictive Gameplay

In Hoplite, death is inevitable. The game’s difficulty increases with each floor, forcing you to adapt your strategy as you go. Even if you die, the feeling of progress through skill upgrades and experience makes you want to jump right back in. 

Leaderboards and Achievements

For those who want to compete and show off their skills, Hoplite offers Google Play leaderboards and achievements. Track your progress against other players and aim for the top spots. The achievements and leaderboard system give extra goals to work toward, adding replay value to the game.

Premium Features

For players who want to expand their Hoplite experience, there’s a premium option available. With a one-time purchase, you gain access to additional features such as new challenges, achievements, and more options for upgrading your character. The premium version also unlocks a Challenge Mode, offering even greater difficulty for those looking to test their skills.

Strategic Depth

Not only do you have to account for your own movements, but you also have to plan how to handle enemies that move and react to your choices. This level of strategy is one of the main draws of the game, as no two runs are alike.
