In Valor of Man players assemble a party of four epic heroes, chosen from twelve distinct classes. With their party, they set out on a challenging yet fantastical roguelite adventure. Success hinges on finding and mastering your team synergies, all while developing the party’s abilities from a vast pool of more than 750 spells, attacks, items, and artifacts. Each run demands a fresh tactical approach to outmaneuver reactive enemies, navigate special encounters, and defeat formidable bosses.

Built with a distinctive reaction-driven combat system, Valor of Man challenges players to think several steps ahead, as every attack triggers an enemy response. Players must master their team planning and positioning, while also getting a fundamental understanding of enemy behavior. The combat system is meant to reward players mastery of the game and strategic foresight in and out of battle.

Key Features

Ever-evolving Roguelite gameplay – Valor of Man delivers deep roguelite replayability powered by tabletop‑inspired tactical combat with every battle unfolding on an evolving board.

From Archmage to Assassin – Players can choose from twelve dark‑fantasy‑inspired classes, supported by an even larger roster of subclasses ranging from righteous paladin to mercenary berserker.

Power fantasy is over 9000 – With more than 300 abilities, 290 items, and 170 artifacts, Valor of Man offers extensive build variety that fully supports every player’s class fantasy.

Difficult battles await – Valor of Man offers ten escalating difficulty levels, requiring an increase in player’s skill for each level and making the highest difficulty not just fun to play but an accomplishment to conquer.
