Description

Minos is a maze-building roguelite where you, the fabled Minotaur, must defend your sanctuary from bloodthirsty adventurers.

They've heard the stories of a monster in the dark, fame and riches waiting for the one who slays it. What they don't know is that you are the one who built this maze, laid the traps, and now lie in wait.

Every run brings new enemies, new traps, and new ways to turn their bravery into a bloody disaster. No two nights are ever the same.

Build Your Perfect Trap

Drag walls, gates, and corridors into place to shape your maze however you like. Make long, winding paths full of traps or confuse and split them up with rotating passages and shifting gates. It's your labyrinth. Cruel or clever, it's up to you.

Chain Reactions of Death

Every spike, boulder, blade, and fire trap can be linked into intricate sequences. Set pressure plates to trigger a whole cascade of chaos, fooling heroes into thinking they are making progress, right before everything goes beautifully, horribly wrong.

Who's the Real Monster?

Uncover the story behind the Minotaur and the man who became it. What drove Daedalus to create such a place? When Theseus finally comes, you'll decide who deserves to walk out alive.

I admit I bought this game in hopes I could get a Minotaur avatar for my Steam profile. (That Grimrock .jpg ain't cutting it.) But the game itself turned out to be quite good. Asterion- the Minotaur of greek myth- is

I genuinely love a lot of what this game is offering. If it were more balanced, I might even say it's one of the best tower defense games out there. The problem is there are just a few units that make you wonder what

One of the best Tower Defence like game I have ever played. Easy to get into, easy interface and easy controls. Runs perfectly. And for the price, you will get your monies worth if you like Tower Defence games. Can't

Just one small miss click and I have to start ALL OVER? No option to just restart the level. I just loose all the progress and equipment. Uninstalled, never playing this again.

A fun little game with a satisfying gameplay loop. For each level, you start with an empty underground arena and have to set up traps to kill the heroes who venture into your domain. Despite the Greek theme, the overall

Minos is a refreshing take on the tower defense genre, blending classic mechanics with a darker, dungeon-themed atmosphere reminiscent of games like Dungeon Keeper. While it’s not without flaws, it manages to deliver a
