Roguelite Single- & Multiplayer

Alone or together with friends: Fight against evil and use your skills tactically in team battles. Trade items found in multiplayer with your teammates to strengthen the group’s combat power.

Varied Game World

Direct Controls

Control your hero directly: Instead of using point-and-click to move your character, we rely on WASD for movement as well as precise aiming with the mouse.
