BUILD YOUR DEFENSES. BUILD YOUR CHARACTER. DEFEND AGAINST THE WAVES.
Bonelords is a Rogue-like, Souls-like, Terraria-like wave defense game, with an emphasis on combat & character build choices. Defend the mystical Fort Platz as you teleport across the lands of Speghiem. Each run is unique in this rogue-like experience!
Scale Your Character
Play and grow your character to play the way you want. Eight different starting classes keep each run different from the start! Level up your character's stats in whatever way you see fit - each stat is multipurpose. Pick your relics after each great enemy defeated to give you a major, unique boost in power (and believe me, you will need it)! No two characters are the same!
Advanced, Souls-Like Combat
Dodge to move and gain invulnerability frames! Hit enemy attacks with your own to deflect & clank with theirs! Break down enemy poise to stagger them and go in for the kill! Every weapon has both a regular attack and a special attack, allowing for a wide variety of skill expression! Even dodge into the ground to wavedash and gain massive speed - we have it all!
Build Defenses In Depth
Build your own defenses to stop the hordes. Put up walls and lay traps to delay and destroy the enemy! But beware; for the enemy will tear at your defenses from the ground up! If your structures weaken and crumble, the enemy (and yourself) will get crushed under it's weight!
Inheriting Legacy with Each Run
Pass down attributes, items, and relics by inheriting the marrow of your previous champions! Build your list of legacies & train better parents, so that you can overcome even steeper obstacles!
Multiplayer
Don't go it alone! Split screen multi-player with up to four other players. Remote play and let your friends in as well, at any distance, and on one copy of the game!
