Into the Crypt has launched into full 1.0 release on Windows/PC on Steam on October 29, 2026:

The first-person roguelike deckbuilder launches with three classes, 495+ cards, online co-op and a separately available soundtrack

TORONTO, Canada – October 30, 2026 – Independent studio Megaglope Studios today announced that Into the Crypt, its first-person roguelike deckbuilder, is out now on Steam for Windows PC. The game launched on October 29, 2026 as a full 1.0 releasepriced at 19.99 USD with a 15% launch discount for 7 days, until Nov 5, 2026.

Into the Crypt puts players inside the dungeon rather than above it. Viewed in first person, every door, chest and breakable piece of treasure is opened with cards and keys, and every fight is won with the deck players build along the way. Runs descend through three procedurally generated depths filled with branching paths, merchants, minigames, events and hidden secrets, with elites and boss encounters that change tactics mid-fight.

Players choose from three classes, each built around its own resource system:

  • The Berserker builds Fury and unleashes it through Overload.
  • The Alchemist brews potions in the middle of combat.
  • The Druid strengthens two companions, Sheaf and Gob, through Offering.

Defeating bosses unlocks class-specific Depth Rites that open up new ways to play each class.

Into the Crypt can be played solo or in online co-op. In co-op, each player builds a separate deck and can see their partner's hand, so plays can be planned together. Between runs, players can raid other players' tombs to recover cards those players collected before they fell.

The 1.0 release follows a public Steam demo and closed playtesting that shaped the game's balance and difficulty curve ahead of launch.
