Guildrun Header
Official Steam store asset telemetry for Guildrun.

Guildrun is a PvE roguelike autobattler where players draft heroes, combine relics, progress through 8 difficulties, and climb Endless leaderboards without turn timers.

Hero Drafting and Progression

  • Players assemble a guild of adventurers and rank heroes from tier C to tier S across tactical encounters.
  • The roster features 25 heroes with 75 spec paths and over 500 distinct ways to level up each member.
  • Hero classes can be restructured mid-run, allowing backline healers to convert into frontline tanks or ranged fighters into melee brawlers.

Relics and Item Synergies

  • Expeditions offer over 300 relics alongside 100 items that combine to create distinct team compositions.
  • Build variety allows pairings such as battlefield lovers to trigger scaling bonuses against boss encounters.
  • Drafting choices, leveling routes, and respec opportunities let squads pivot strategies without being restricted by a fixed meta.
  • Unlocking relics and equipment run by run encourages experimentation with novel roster combinations and distinct positioning setups.

Turn Freedom and Leaderboards

  • Runs operate without matchmaking queues, PvP battles, or turn timers, allowing commanders to pause and resume sessions.
  • Clearing an expedition unlocks the next tier across 8 difficulty settings with accumulating challenge modifiers.
  • High-tier runs feed directly into Endless mode leaderboards where commanders compete for top ladder rankings.

Early Development and Updates

  • Weekly patches have rolled out regularly following the initial alpha launch in January.
  • The demo includes 25 heroes, 180 specializations, and hundreds of relics for players testing tactical builds.
  • Tactical runs challenge squads to investigate mysterious rifts tearing open across world cities.
