Din's Champion is dynamic rogue-lite RPG styled like Terraria from Soldak Entertainment

Soldak Entertainment make some pretty quirky RPGs with a good few die-hard fans, and now they're trying something a bit different with Din's Champion.

Blending the basic theme of Terraria with 2D side-scrolling where you mine and gather resources, craft items and explore the world but with Soldak's dynamic RPG systems to give you a really unique game. The graphical style of it is a bit…odd, it looks like a Terraria "HD" mod almost but it seems to make up for it in all the gameplay systems.

You have to build up a town, which can end up with 100s of NPCs that you can equip to help you out. Which you'll probably need, since the monsters can "form uprisings, start wars, set up ambushes, and attack your town". Heck, even without monsters there's a lot going on. Your NPCs can get plagues and curses, you have sneaky assassins to worry about too and then there's the physics system with various terrain that will collapse around you, gases can build up, liquids will be flowing and much more.

Character creation and upgrades sound interesting too, with the developer noting there's "over 50,000 combinations". Each run through should be unique with different bosses, biomes, monsters, items, traps, objects, and quests with is where the whole rogue-lite thing comes in.
