Cordels & Spells

Action roguelite with co-op, deep builds, and unique 2D attacks

Cordels & Spells is a fast-paced action roguelite focused on quick runs, powerful combinations, and highly responsive 2D combat. Play solo or in two-player co-op and fight through chaotic arenas while shaping your strategy using Cordels that define your build and Enchanted Cordels that unlock unique attacks.

  • Co-op is fast, chaotic, and designed to keep the action flowing

Strong Theme & Visual Identity

  • Expressive animations that give weight to every hit and ability

  • Forró- and baião-inspired soundtrack driving the pace of combat
