9 guides
Guildrun guides
Each guide takes one question and answers it with names: the exact relic, hero or number involved, linked to its page so you can read the full effect for yourself. They are ordered by how often the question comes up.
Updated for patch 0.5.13
What do the Guildrun guides cover?
Nine guides on the questions that come up first: the release date, the price, system requirements, the free demo, multiplayer and co-op, a first run, the Red Rift, difficulty and Endless scaling, and the five boss fights. Each one names the exact relics, heroes and numbers involved and links to their pages.

Guildrun release date
The studio has given a window twice, and the second one is narrower: the first half of 2027, with no Early Access step before it. The Steam page still shows no date at all.

Guildrun price
Nobody knows the number yet, the studio included. What is settled is the shape of the purchase: one payment, no Early Access step, nothing to buy afterwards.

Guildrun system requirements
Taken from the Steam page of the demo. Modest on Windows, Apple Silicon only on Mac, and one line that contradicts itself.
Free on Steam
Guildrun demo
The demo is free, it is not time limited, and it is considerably more than a slice. Two full acts, then Endless mode with leaderboards.

Guildrun multiplayer and co-op
Everything you can play right now is solo. One co-op mode is coming with the full game, PvP is not coming at all, and the studio has been unusually blunt about why.
Start here
Guildrun beginner guide
Guildrun resolves its fights on its own. Everything that matters happens between them, and most of it comes down to five decisions. Here they are, with the actual names and numbers rather than general advice.
Higher difficulty
Red Rift guide
Red Rift is the harder contract, with tougher enemies and extra missions on top. The mistake people make is bringing an Endless mindset into it.
Late game
Difficulty and Endless mode
Eight difficulties unlock in order, and past them sits Endless, which runs until you lose and feeds a global leaderboard. The two ask for different things.

Guildrun bosses
A demo run ends on a dragon. Which one, and how hard it hits, comes down to a floor 11 roll you do not control — and to a difficulty curve that does not behave the way you would expect.
Checked on patch 0.5.13
Guildrun shop guide
Shards are the only currency in a run, and the shop is the only place to spend them. These are its prices and rules as the game files hold them on patch 0.5.13, with the relics that change them.
