In our fast-paced, turn-based, co-op adventure you'll quest and explore, find awesome loot, customize your fighters, and recruit strange species. Rally your troops and steel your wits if you hope to survive a hostile world filled with sinister robots, deadly vampires and brutally adorable cupcake people!

Make your experience extra special with Permadeath!



  • Realistic death simulation: dead characters are dead forever and can't be brought back, even if you need them to complete the story!* Whoops!
  • Detailed obituaries: fondly remember your fallen heroes, including key details such as their name, level and how many times they killed for you!
  • Save gold: never buy another resurrection potion, because they're totally disabled and useless!

Choose Permadeath today and face the very real possibility that your family and friends will forever question your judgement as you spend your life wondering why you made such a drastic decision without consulting others.
