''[[http://dxfgames.com/EquinTheLantern/EquinTheLantern.htm Equin: The Lantern]]'' is a 2012 PC roguelike dungeon crawler rpg game by DXF Games which was then rereleased on Steam in 2016. [[NoPlotNoProblem Hardly featuring a plot]], the game tasks the player with exploring 50 randomly-chosen floors of a dungeon while fighting off monsters and figuring out the local rules and tricks to survive.
----
!!Tropes featured in this game include:
* ArmorPiercingSlap: The glove items have a slap move that costs nothing and drains stamina from enemies.
* BlackoutBasement: A floor type is set on the dark. You can light the screen up with a torch.
* BonusBoss: Beware that if you fish too much you might end up catching a very powerful Water Dragon...
* ChestMonster: The chest monsters move around but it's still easy to stumble on them by mistake while running around.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience:
** The titular Lantern has several color-coded phases that grant certain bonuses and penalties.
** Champion-class monsters have a flashing blue outline. The bosses have a red outline instead.
* {{Combos}}: The blue gauge is filled by hitting enemies and grants an exp bonus once it is full. It's easier said than done though, as not only the gauge is completely drained if you happen to miss an attack, but will be set to zero anyway once the Lantern reaches its yellow phase.
* ExcusePlot: Some weird lantern on a monster-filled dungeon is flashing different colors. What's that all about?
* FighterMageThief: The three classes you can choose from.
* FinalBoss: The Lich at floor 50.
* HaveANiceDeath: Every time you die the game creates a text file listing your cause of death and the stats and items you had back then.
-->We found a dead guy down on floor 14 of the dungeon!!\\
Doc said he was most likely killed by a Druid.\\
His wallet had 1030 gold pieces in it, not like he'll need it anymore!
* HintSystem: You can buy random hints about the game's mechanics at the Inns and review them later at the main menu.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The items with particularly good stats and effects have flashing green names. You usually get them from very rare black treasure chests.
* LevelUpFillUp: Mercifully, your health and stamina are refilled on a level up.
* NintendoHard: The game is very difficult and there is a luck factor involved as expected from the genre. One bad decision is often all there is between you and YetAnotherStupidDeath and you [[FinalDeath cannot continue]] after dying, either.
* PoisonMushroom: Eating mushrooms on the floor can either recover a little bit of hp or cause you to lose several by inflicting poison.
* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: Levels aren't procedurally generated, but instead chosen at random from a pack of over 100 maps.
* {{Retraux}}: The game is rendered in 8-bit style pixel art.
* ScoringPoints: Your score is shown once the game ends.
* SkippableBoss: All the bosses can be avoided if the level design allows.
* SquishyWizard: The Wizard has powerful spells that never miss but is unable to use some of the better physical weapons and tough armors. There's also a floor type that prevents use of spells, so you should try to keep some average physical weapon with you.
* TooAwesomeToUse: Several items, the most obvious ones being the colored potions that completely restore health and stamina.
* WeirdWeather: Indoor rain rooms prevent the use of campfires.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: When out of stamina you can only do minimal damage and are unable to even run away, so manage it well and do NOT EVER engage in battle if you know you don't have enough STM to finish it.
