Downwell, the acclaimed mobile roguelike game, lands on Apple Arcade and becomes free to subscribers, offering an addictive and challenging spelunking experience. This retro-style game centers around Welltaro, who dives into a mysterious well armed with Gunboots to defeat monsters and find treasure. Players will encounter an endless descent filled with dangers, requiring strategic use of Welltaro's Gunboots, which serve both as a weapon and a hover mechanism. The game requires a mix of strategy and quick reflexes as ammo and health are scarce, and environmental hazards must be navigated smartly.

Developed with simplicity and charm, Downwell delivers a mix of adrenaline-fueled gameplay and replayability that feels intuitive on mobile devices, thanks to its easy-to-grasp touch-screen controls. Apart from Apple Arcade, the game is available on various platforms such as Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita, each with its pricing. Downwell's appeal lies in its ability to provide a mystifying adventure filled with secrets and challenges, reminiscent of the enjoyment found in other roguelite hits like Vampire Survivors.
