About the Game



A dark and violent meld of retro and modern action games, inspired by the classic 2.5D first person shooters of the 90s, with elements of modern looter shooters and rogue-lites.

Intense and addictive gameplay


Tons of enemies are crammed in open-ended levels full of surprises and geysers of blood and treasure.

Character progression


Use the gold you find to purchase tons of character upgrades and new abilities via minigames.

Ludicrous weapon variety


80 unique weapons that can drop as loot and can contain a funky mix of over 30 enchantment types.

SO much more


  • Music and audio by the great Andrew Hulshult.
  • Non-intrusive but mysterious story.
  • Many game modes.
  • A mix of manual and random level generation.
  • Tons of random events and secrets.

You rise to prevent her doom
and duke it out with nightmares
to reap salvation in blood.
