About
Gates of Skeldal (Brány Skeldalu) is a cult-classic 1998 Czech grid-based dungeon crawler, set on the island of Rovenland where a party of adventurers must stop five rogue mages from opening a gate to a forbidden dimension. This is the game's own official open-source release — the original 1998 Czech dungeon crawler's source code, published on GitHub and paired with an official 2025 Steam re-release that adds achievements, Workshop support, and cloud saves. It's turn-based, party-based combat for up to six heroes, mixing 2D and 3D presentation with magic and puzzle-solving.
Getting started
Available on Steam with achievements, Workshop, and cloud-save support; the GitHub repository carries the original source code for players who prefer to build it themselves.
