Article Summary

  • Thysiastery, a retro-inspired dungeon crawler RPG, launches in March from indie dev DIRGA.
  • Features turn-based combat, permadeath, and procedurally generated dungeons for replayability.
  • Recruit unique characters, teach skills, and explore hidden forests and underwater cities.
  • Customize your adventure with difficulty modifiers and beautifully crafted pixel art visuals.

Indie game developer and publisher DIRGA has revealed the official launch date for their upcoming game, Thysiastery. In case you haven't seen the title yet, this is a dungeon crawler RPG that takes cues from the classic '80s and '90s single-screen movement tiles from the genre, but with modernized mechanics and fun animations that make the pixelated days feel renewed. The game recently released a free demo for players to try, and we thought it might go to Early Access, but they're actually releasing the full version on March 9, 2026. Enjoy the latest trailer here, and we'll see the game in about two weeks.
