Muster

MUSTER is a roguelite autobattler built around preparing a warband before combat. Recruit up to five diggers from twenty characters, equip them, and arrange their positions on a hex battlefield. Once a fight begins, the party acts automatically, so formation, equipment, talents, and abilities shape the result. Between battles, explore a numbered excavation grid for recruits, gear, and routes while managing limited tools and weighing the risk of uncovering enemies. Descend through six-floor runs in the earthen barrow or the unlockable frozen barrow, then decide whether to extract surviving diggers or take them further into Endless.

Gameplay and features

• Plan each battle: Position up to five diggers freely on your half of a large hex battlefield. Combat then unfolds automatically in real time as they move, choose targets, attack, and heal.
• Shape your warband: Recruit from twenty characters with distinct ranges, priorities, and abilities. Each role has a class quest and three talent trees; weapons, charms, forge upgrades, and expedition-wide relics add further choices.
• Dig for resources and routes: Use clues on procedurally generated excavation grids to search for recruits, equipment, and routes. Limited shovels and lanterns make each dig a choice, and uncovering enemies can awaken a connected pocket.
• Descend and assess the results: Take on six-floor runs in two barrows with different enemies and bosses. Battle reports detail damage, healing, punishment, attacks, and effects; extract survivors to preserve their talent builds or risk them in Endless.
