About this game
Gold Below is a pixel-art loot roguelike you play in portrait. Each run starts with junk gear and a little gold. You buy pieces, merge two of the same into a rarer one, and stack one set until the numbers get silly. Then something twenty floors down hits harder than you planned for.
How a fight works
Every enemy shows what it will do on its next turn. Between turns you can shop, swap gear and merge. Then you ATTACK, GUARD or cast your hero's skill. When attacking would get you killed and guarding wouldn't, GUARD lights up gold. Auto can play the easy turns for you, and it hands control back when things get dangerous.
Loot
22 gear sets, each with bonuses at 2, 3 and 5 pieces, and 20 combos between pairs of sets. 7 rarities, from Common up to Gilded. Etchings you can move from one piece to another.
The Dragon's Hoard
Every player who dies leaves their gold to the dragon at the bottom, in one pile that grows on everyone's title screen. Once a month, the first player to win a Season Descent takes all of it.
What's free and what isn't
The first ten floors are free, their three bosses included, and so is the Daily Descent to floor 10. One Full Game purchase unlocks floors 11 to 30 and their four bosses, endless mode, five more heroes, the Greed ladder, the full Daily Descent and the Season Descent, plus three cosmetic styles. No ads, no subscriptions, no energy and no paid currency.
Twelve heroes, each with their own skill and passive. Runs save as you play. The game works offline; the Dragon's Hoard, Season Descents, buying and restoring need a connection. You don't need an account.
Every item, set, enemy and boss is in the wiki at goldbelow.com/wiki.

AI disclosure
Gold Below was made with the help of generative AI tools. Its pixel art was built with AI tools, and the character and monster sprites started from AI-generated images that were reworked into pixel art. The music, the sound effects, the code, the English text and the translations were also made with AI assistance, and so were some marketing materials. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
