Key Features:
- Arcade style hack-n-slash combat, mixed with RPG-style character progression.
- Different skills and item choices are required to complete the game with each of the four heroes and each of their weapon sets. Everyone is sure to find a favorite, but they are all equally fun in their own right.
- A one-button combo and charge attack system. It’s all about your timing!
- The more you play, the better chance you have to make it to the end, thanks to dozens of unlockable items that can make it easier to survive.
- Choose from dozens of off-the-wall power-ups like the Rubber Ducky, Non-Organic Orange, and the Filth Finger.
- Stack and level-up items for all sorts of additive damage and see their effects right on your character, in all their shimmering, magical glory.
- No two runs are the same; everything from items to maps are procedurally generated.
- We use 100% locally grown, organic polygons that were rendered in a healthy environment.
