Dig Too Deep

Dig Too Deep is a 2D side-scrolling action roguelite that combines real-time combat with tower defence. Players begin as Ol’Berta, a protective troll, and can later unlock two further playable characters: Acarash, a heavy metal-themed fighter, and the Goblin King, who uses trickster magic against enemies.

The central mechanic involves directing a crew of goblins around the base by throwing them. Goblins can be sent to the mine to gather scrap, to the Smiddy to craft upgrades and buildings, or directly at incoming enemies. They are treated as a limited resource, so injured goblins can be healed and fallen ones resurrected before being sent out again. Resources are spent at the Smiddy and the Pile to build defences and purchase upgrades, and these choices determine how each run develops.

Each run features waves of enemies that grow progressively more difficult. Dozens of perks can be found, stacked and combined, allowing players to try out different builds across runs. When a run ends in defeat, players start again. On Steam, the game currently holds a Positive user review rating, based on more than ten reviews.
