About the Game

Survive the Anomaly. Uncover the Old World.

Gearomancer is a high-octane, twin-stick action roguelite set in a beautifully shattered, anime-inspired world. Humanity is clinging to survival in massive, layered cities built around volatile Arcane crystals. But as the planet’s atmosphere collapses and mysterious elemental beasts begin to besiege these last bastions of life, the world needs a new kind of defense.

Enter V.E.R.T.E.X.—an elite, borderless task force comprised of the most lethal specialists from every tier of society.

Master the Bullet Hell

Step into the boots of a V.E.R.T.E.X. agent and dive straight into the heart of the anomaly. Use your mastery of twin-stick combat to dodge devastating bullet hell barrages and obliterate endless swarms of mechanized and elemental horrors. Each run is a desperate fight for survival, but death is only the beginning.

Permanent Progression

Keep your hard-earned Arcane currency even if you fall in battle. Return to the V.E.R.T.E.X. base to forge powerful permanent upgrades, customize your meta-progression, and return to the fray stronger, faster, and deadlier.

A Roster of Elite Agents

The V.E.R.T.E.X. initiative recruits only the best. Unlock and play as diverse agents, each offering a drastically different playstyle. Whether you prefer swift agile strikes, heavy tanking, devastating ranged artillery, or close-quarters combat, there is a class ready for the frontline.

Unravel a Layered Mystery

Between the brutal runs, uncover the dark truth of this universe. Through dynamic narrative interactions that evolve with every return to your hub, you will learn the secrets of the mutated lower-class miners, the hoarding Technomancers of the upper echelons, and the scavenger raiders who have discovered terrifying artifacts from a civilization that existed before the apocalypse.

Are you ready to face the anomaly?
