About the Game

Grab a buddy and brace for chaos in this 3D Fantasy Shoot ‘Em Up (SHMUP). Face off against a twisted necromancer fueled by a cursed bracer and a bloodlust for destruction. Blast enemies, dodge projectiles, unlock upgrades, and customize your hero with unique weapons, skills, and skins.

A necrotic curse spreads across the land. At its heart, a malevolent bracer, worn by a once-familiar figure. The sickness has spread. The sacred tree of life has been twisted into the dreaded tree of death, spawning armies of undead from its wretched underground tendrils. To face this threat are three heroes - an intrepid Knight, a mysterious Wizard, and a relentless Bounty Hunter, each with their own motivations for pursuing our villain and ending his corruption. 

Safety is an illusion: Waves of enemies, hazards, and projectiles advance without pause, turning every encounter into a dance of blasting, dodging, looting, and slashing. Battle through the monstrous hoards in a dark, gothic and deadly world. Forward motion is your greatest enemy, and… your only path to victory.

  • Fantasy SHMUP Reborn — Fast-paced, classic SHMUP gameplay with endless twists. Dodge necrotic forces, weave through enemy fire, and fight through a dark, gothic world.

  • RPG Progression and Customization — Collect gold, unlock powerful skills on an indepth skill tree, and purchase vital weapon upgrades to customize your play. Bring one of 11 unique player pets into battle and personalize your look with character, pet, and weapon cosmetics.

  • Couch Co-Op Carnage — Don't face the darkness alone! Gather your fellowship for classic local couch co-op and turn the tide of battle side-by-side with friends! 

  • Story & Endless Modes — Hunt down the Necromancer in the full story mode, or push your limits in Endless Mode. Both paths feature unique rewards and progression flows.

  • True Realm Mastery — Progress through multiple difficulty settings that fundamentally change the game, adding extra hazards and denser enemy hordes. Prove your skills by defeating challenging bosses, completing level objectives, and best your ranks and high scores in all modes.

Can you finish what death started? Make the bones count.
