About Ring of Pain

Enemies signal their actions and choices show their outcomes, allowing you to weigh looting, sneaking and fighting before taking a step. Positioning matters because a poor route can leave you surrounded.

Scavenged or purchased equipment supplies passive powers that combine into different builds. The main route leads through 16 dungeons toward two branching endings, with twenty-five or more special dungeons offering optional risky detours. Four regions contain fifty or more creatures, including friendly encounters.
