[h2]About Vaultbreakers[/h2]

Vaultbreakers is a Hardcore Fantasy Extraction ARPG that delivers intense action, deep strategy, and high-stakes combat. Whether you’re a lone warrior or thrive in co-op, you’ll face relentless challenges as you fight to escape with powerful treasures. It’s an experience built for players who love competition, mastery, and teamwork.

Vaultbreakers is set in the same universe as Minion Masters, so if you want to try it out, you might see several familiar faces! 

We have a Playtest happening from January 31st until February 7th. If you want to join, you can grab a key on our Website.

Minion Masters remains an important part of the BetaDwarf universe, and while we are not adding new content to the game, we are working with key community members to release frequent balance updates and support community tournaments. 

You can join the Minion Masters Discord Server to stay updated and take part in the game balance discussion!
