About the game

Basalt - the Cursed Vein is a roguelite match-3 city builder where you dig deep to rebuild a ruined mining town. Match tiles to mine resources, defeat sinister cave creatures, and uncover lost artifacts - then use what you find to upgrade the village and unlock new tools, abilities, and strategic builds. But the deeper you go, the stranger things get. Villagers whisper one warning again and again: Don’t dig too deep.

Key Features

• Roguelite Match-3: Strategic tile-matching with randomized upgrades and permanent progression.
• Dig & Rebuild: Mine resources to restore a ruined village and unlock powerful tools and perks.
• Dynamic Enemies & Artifacts: Outwit board-disrupting creatures and collect unique items to upgrade your run.
• Explosive Combos: Create bombs with varied effects through special match patterns.
• Deep Boss Battles: Survive collapsing mines and defeat monstrous foes guarding the lowest levels.
• Premium Pixel Art Experience: Gritty visuals, no microtransactions - made for dedicated Steam players.
