About the Game

Arkus (ALPHA) is a fast-paced top-down action roguelike focused on intense gameplay and meaningful progression choices.

You are thrown into relentless waves of enemies, where survival depends on movement, positioning, and smart decision-making. Your weapons attack automatically, but you control their direction with your mouse, allowing you to fully focus on dodging, positioning, and adapting to the situation.

Each level-up offers impactful choices that shape your build and change the way you play. Increase your stats, grab new weapons, or collect gems for upgrades.

Between runs, you can upgrade your Profile with permanent improvements, unlock new characters and weapons, complete achievements, and compete for the top spot on the online leaderboard.

Survive as long as possible, optimize your build, and prove your mastery in Arkus
