How It Plays

Run the dungeon. Bank what matters. Come back stronger.

PSO: Pocket is a portable roguelite inspired by Phantasy Star Online. Every run is a gamble between pushing deeper for better drops or retreating to safety with what you have already earned.

Pick a class. Enter the dungeon. See how far you get. Fight through Forest, Caves, Mines and Ruins, clear rooms, crack open item boxes, learn techniques, face bosses, and decide whether to bank your progress or risk everything for one more floor.

Roguelike Game

Pocket dungeon runs

Death is harsh, but not total. Lose a run without a Scape Doll and your carried inventory is gone — but your long-term progress stays with you.

  • Push deeper for EXP, meseta, loot and rarer drops
  • Bank weapons and meseta between floors to keep them safe
  • Spend saved meseta on permanent upgrades and supplies
  • Return stronger after every run, even after a wipe
MAG Lab

Feed your Dreamcast MAG

MAG Lab turns Pocket runs into fuel for your Dreamcast companion. Earn meseta in the main game, move into the lab, buy feed items, raise your imported MAG, then sync the updated MAG back to your Dreamcast save.

  • Scan VMU save files and pull in compatible MAG data
  • Use meseta earned in PSO: Pocket to fund feed items
  • Feed, evolve and manage MAG stats away from the main game
  • Sync the updated MAG back out to the Dreamcast save
Permanent Progress

What survives every run

The dungeon resets. You don’t. Even when a run falls apart, PSO: Pocket keeps the things that make the next attempt stronger, safer and more interesting.

  • Your MAG — its stats, evolution stage and long-term growth stay with you
  • Your bank — weapons and meseta stored at the Bank NPC remain safe
  • Your upgrades — permanent HP, ATK, DEF and TP boosts carry over forever
  • Your technique mastery — spells improve through use and never reset
  • Your difficulty progress — once a tier is unlocked, it stays unlocked
  • Your wallet — earned meseta continues funding future runs and MAG Lab
