About this game
You died on the lowest gate. Now build the army that ends them all.
Shadow Gates is a roguelite dungeon crawler where you crawl 5 escalating gates with 5 distinct biomes — Forest, Crypt, Shadow Rift, Frozen Cathedral, Volcanic Forge — each with its own boss, enemies, and music. Inspired by Solo Leveling, every kill extracts a shadow you can deploy on your next run. Lose 100 times. The army grows. Eventually you don't just survive — you walk back in commanding the dead that killed you.
🗡️ Five Classes, Five Fantasies
