A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


In Descendants you play four dwarves inhabiting different roles going back into their ancestral home, to claim their birthright.

  • The Miner can jump higher than the other dwarves and mine the precious metals of mother earth
  • The Warrior is a fierce melee fighter swinging his trusty hammer
  • The Light Bearer brings the comfort of light into the darkest corner of this fallen kingdom – and his wizard hat is not just for show
  • The Ranger is quick with his crossbow and keeps an eye out for elevated enemies

In order to overcome the dangers of your journey you will have to switch between these dwarves and descend deeper and deeper.
