QUIVERBANE
QUIVERBANE
Craft your arrows. Fight your enemies. Survive one more round.
Quiverbane is a 2D side-scrolling roguelike browser game about an archer fighting her way through a dangerous fantasy world.
The game is completely free to play directly in your browser.
No purchase is required. No subscription. No pay-to-win.
Just play.
THE CORE IDEA
Quiverbane combines three different gameplay elements:
Roguelike progression + automatic combat + a fast Match-3 crafting system.
The twist?
You don't simply choose your attacks. You craft your ammunition.
BATTLE
Combat is divided into rounds.
YOUR TURN
Your archer automatically fires every arrow currently stored in her quiver.
Different arrows have different abilities:
- Normal Arrow – reliable basic damage
- Fire Arrow – sets enemies on fire
- Ice Arrow – slows enemies
- Poison Arrow – deals damage over time
- Lightning Arrow – chains to nearby enemies
- Piercing Arrow – passes through enemies
As you progress, you can unlock upgrades that completely change how these arrows behave.
ENEMY TURN
After your arrows are gone, it's the enemies' turn.
Enemies move toward you and attack when they get close enough.
Some enemies are slow and powerful.
Others are fast and aggressive.
Some attack from a distance.
Your goal is simple:
Kill them before they reach you.
CRAFT YOUR ARROWS
After each battle round, you enter a short crafting phase.
A Match-3 puzzle appears.
Swap adjacent gems and match three or more of the same type to create arrows.
For example:
3 red gems → 1 Fire Arrows
3 blue gems → 1 Ice Arrows
3 green gems → 1 Poison Arrows
You only have a limited amount of time to craft your next batch of ammunition.
So you have to make quick decisions:
Do I need more damage?
Should I slow the enemies down?
Should I create as many arrows as possible?
Can I create a powerful combo before the timer runs out?
The arrows you craft determine how your next combat round will play out.
BUILD YOUR ARCHER
After successful encounters, you'll be able to choose from random upgrades.
You might find:
- Multishot
- Faster attacks
- Critical hits
- Explosive arrows
- Increased arrow damage
- Larger quiver
- Fire mastery
- Poison mastery
- Ice mastery
- Lightning chains
- Lifesteal
- Projectile penetration
- And many more
Every run can create a completely different build.
Maybe you'll create a rapid-fire archer.
Maybe you'll focus on powerful explosive arrows.
Or perhaps you'll build a poison-based character that slowly destroys entire groups of enemies.
The choice is yours.
DEATH IS PART OF THE JOURNEY
Eventually, you'll die.
That's part of the game.
When a run ends, you return to your camp with the gold you've collected.
Use it to permanently improve your character:
- Health
- Damage
- Armor
- Attack Speed
- Critical Chance
- Movement Speed
- Quiver Capacity
Then start another run.
Go further.
Become stronger.
Try a different build.
And see how far you can get.
