In [[Demon]], you play as a Summoner who has donned a relic in hopes of acquiring great power, only to find that the relic has compelled you to enter a mysterious tower from which no Summoners seem to return. Starting with only a few meager powers and a weak demon ally that the relic provided when you donned it, you must climb the tower, recruiting more and stronger demons and through your battles alongside them acquire stronger powers for your own use as well.

Though the relics are powerful, they have limits: They do not allow direct control of demons, and the powers they grant are only enough to make the Summoner as strong as... not stronger than... the demons within the tower. Without powerful, well-chosen allies and clever use of the abilities learned from them, there will be no chance of survival.

Rift Wizard is a turn-based roguelike which focuses on spell-based combat and character building.

Combat in Rift Wizard is tactical and puzzle-like, with fixed damage numbers and no fog of war.

Upon completing a level, the player has a choice of 2-4 rifts, all leading to different procedurally generated levels. Levels vary both in the loot they contain, and in the enemies that inhabit them. Matching your next rift to your build- and vice versa- can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Players gain skillpoints from completing levels- of which each run contains only 25. Thus players must be quite careful with their character builds, balancing their near term needs with long term goals, while also balancing versatility with synergy.
