In his quest, the stranger has met many curiosities. Managed to take care of himself, he stumbled upon half-destroyed castle, in the center of which stands an unseen artifact that attracts monsters nearby. The captain of the castle sees great opportunity to save local folks and asks him for help.
Gameplay
Every ~5 minutes the castle is under attack of monsters. Each defeated wave strengthen the monsters in the game. Amount of players influences on some monster parameters too. Every third wave will reset shops stock. Every fifth - spawns a boss with the wave. Currently there are 50 waves to defeat. After you are becoming dead you will be respawned on the cemetery and lose 10% of current gold. Also the map contains random generated altars and chests positions.
Parameters
There are new parameters in the game, basic ones as physical and magical attack or kinda not standard like disable time reduction. Every hero has 4 main stats: Strength, Vitality, Agility, Intellect. With each new level you gain 3 points to improve any of it. Strength increases physical damage and every 3 points increase critical chance by 1%, Vitality increases amount of health and it's regeneration, Agility increases physical defense by 2 per 1 point and 1% of cast and attack speed for every 3 points. Intellect increases magical attack, magical suppression, max value of resource and it's regeneration.
Spell book
At the start of the game there are 3 basic abilities that are available to you. You can obtain books that will give you a new ability or if you already know it, increase it's level by 1. Also, it is possible to get bonuses to a level of certain skill or whole skill category.
You can level abilities up to 75 level. An ability can gain a new behavior or bonuses as it's level goes up, along with numbers improvement. Every hero will have from 3 to 4 ability categories. You can read their descriptions, levels and customize your keybindings.
Inventory
There is an inventory for every hero that can hold up to 32 items, not counting the equipped ones. Consumables can be attached on "belt", which is a standard inventory, you can use it by the 1-2-3-4-5-6 on your main keyboard place. You can hold one two-handed weapon, or two one-handed ones. Also you have access to a private chest with 40 slots that holds your items safe from other players.
Itemization
Almost every item that you can find will be random generated.
They are different by their quality, sockets amount, and special suffixes that determining their possible additional parameters. Gems give different bonus depending on the item type in which the gem was inserted. Also there are runes and runewords.
You can find unique items that have static parameters and sockets, and some of them will alternate behavior of some ability.
Or you may be lucky to find a set item, that will give special bonus if you equip right amount of items from that set.
Talents
Every hero has got 3 talent trees which you can reset by using Potion Of Oblivion at any time. Each level gives 1 talent point, for every new level in talents to unlock you have to spend 2 points for first row, 4 for the second and so on.
Rifts
From time to time a rift will appear on the map, spawning creeps and a boss. Defeating the boss closes the rift and the boss drops a special item - Shard of Hate. You can use 5 of them in the Altar to skip 5 waves.
The altar spawns randomly on the map.
Sacrificial Pit
You may find a gift type of item in your drop. Those items are sacrificed in the pit, speeding the game up, but provide certain bonuses and penalties.
The lore
As game progresses, you'll meet persons that can give you quests. The quests can be simple and straightforward, or a bit more complex with different ways of achievement their completion. With them you can learn about the world and what happens there.
Localization
Translated to the EN and RU versions, can be played with different localizations simultaneously.
Afterword
Random generated items and random skill drops can lead to different experience with each playthrough. Try out different builds, classes, items, and maybe you'll find it pleasant. Aaaaaand we have discord server now. Yay i suppose!

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Castle Revival ARPG v1.01 beta [RU|EN]
A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
there will be a private stash that can save you up to 5 gear items as a soft save/load, but this map although is intended to be "get as far as possible"
if you are getting a bug with tooltips under UI after load, just redownload the map, sadly it will bork your saves, but it fixes it
somehow i missed it
New building asset pack with motion and destruction simulation animations, as well as a door system (a system for breaking windows was also developed, but we decided to abandon it).
there is an update for 2.0, fixed what I have found, please let me know if something is broken
I'm aware of some stats on items showing 0, but actually it's just a visual bug and should be fixed from a blizzard side. if not, I'll make a bandaid fix
