About Forward: Escape the Fold
FORWARD: Escape the Fold was created to be the perfect bitesized roguelike dungeon crawler.
Choose your champion and face a relentless crawl through the card-based dungeons, collect items to power your abilities and defeat the gruesome monsters facing you. But keep going FORWARD!
**2022 Megamigs Award Winner**
**2022 Tiny Teams Fest Nominee**
**2022 DemoNight Nominee**
Forward is an innovative game in which you will progress through a procedurally-generated dungeon in the form of cards. Move your character from one card to another and keep going forward while avoiding attacking enemies. However be careful, each card will have specific effects making each move important and strategic.
Your goal is to clear the 8 levels of a dungeon, each level getting increasingly difficult. In order to succeed, you will have to choose which move to make, which item to pick and use your skills. Each choice is critical.
Take advantage of many items combinations and build the best character possible based on your goal and the cards you’ll come across.
Features:
- 100+ item cards to improve your characters
- 9 playable characters with unique skills and game mechanics
- 27 unique active competencies
- 3 game modes
As Forward is a rogue-like inspired game, the features you’ll be able to find are :
- Death ends the game
- Procedurally-generated dungeons
- Turn-based movements
- Resource management (health, armor, mana, gold etc)
- Many randomly drawn items
The game is based on the 2022 PC game Forward: Escape the Fold which was received very positively. Developed by Two Tiny Dice, its success prompted the developer to bring the game to mobile.
