What is Bravely Doomed?

Bravely Doomed is a deck-builder roguelike! Think dungeon-crawling card game where strategy meets adventure. Navigate through treacherous floor after floor of an ancient dungeon. Battle fearsome monsters you have seen in your favorite fantasy games and some you have never seen before. Collect powerful cards, and build the ultimate deck for your play style.

Deck Building

Draft your starting cards and collect more as you go. Build synergies, discover powerful combos, and craft a deck that fits your playstyle. Every card you add shapes your strategy for the challenges ahead.

Roguelike

Roguelike

Turn-based tactical combat where every decision matters. Strategy-driven battles with permadeath stakes. When you fall, you start fresh — but what you've learned stays with you.

The Dungeon

You are an adventurer trying to reach the bottom of a dungeon that has never been fully explored. Join a guild and live out any hero's dream of having a journey worth risking your life for — but understand you are almost certainly doomed.

The Dungeon
Characters with Personality and Memory

Characters with Personality & Memory

NPCs with unlimited dialogue options who construct their responses from an enormous pool of lore tailored to their unique character. They remember your conversations and react to the history you've built together.

Build Your Own Levels

Construct your own levels including the characters in them, the cards found in them, and of course, the layout. The same level editor used by the developer to make the game will be given to players.

Keep It Clean?

Bravely Doomed uses AI — for development and for NPC dialogue — and we take the environmental cost of that seriously.

Most of the AI in Bravely Doomed runs locally on your machine, not in the cloud. No data centers spinning up on your behalf. No server farms. Just your hardware, doing the work efficiently.

But your hardware still uses energy. We calculated what that looks like for an average player:

W (device wattage) = 300W (mid-range PC)
H (hours played) = 50
G (grid carbon intensity) = 0.37 kg CO₂/kWh (US average)
C (clean energy build cost) = $0.034/kWh (utility-scale solar LCOE, Lazard 2025)

(W ÷ 1000) × H × C
(300 ÷ 1000) × 50 × 0.034 = $0.51 per player

That's what it costs to build enough clean energy capacity to offset the electricity an average player burns through the game.

Our mission is to always generate more clean energy than Bravely Doomed consumes.

As a studio, we are committed to directing a portion of the game's post-launch revenue toward clean energy initiatives — currently exploring re-volv.org and similar organizations. We'll track player hours, revisit the math, and increase our contribution if the numbers call for it. If people are playing longer, we'll give more. That's the deal we're making with ourselves and with you.

Hey there! I'm Phil, the solo developer behind Bravely Doomed. This game is my passion project, and your support helps me continue building and improving it.

Your support goes directly toward funding development — from art assets and music to server costs and all the little things that make a game great. Every bit of support helps bring Bravely Doomed closer to completion!
