About the Game

Eurasia has fallen, Germany is on the brink of collapse as an Eldritch plague sweeps across humanity. Monsters, who used to lurk under the bed and inside the closet have now crawled out into the light. Pick up your sword and shotgun and defend the last remnants of humanity. Harness the power of the divine god you follow to lay bare the hordes before you.

Your tools of war are the only thing standing between you and the mutated knight sprinting to cave your skull in. Use everything at your disposal- or die.

  • 4 Unique levels: The world fights back. Every 10 waves the world will transform, and force you to find new places to fight against the onslaught.

  • Unique Playable Characters: Play as one of many characters, like the Knight, Thief, or Necromancer. Each character wields unique weaponry- from fire breathing shotguns to demonic scythes.

  • Weapon Mods: Give your tools the edge they need, increasing their firepower with minor boons, to kitting out your flaregun with a chainsaw.

  • Enemy Factions: Face against monstrous cultists & mutated militia.

  • Wave Modifiers & Objectives: Your enemies will evolve, changing form, dropping live grenades on death, and filling the environmentwith toxic gas.

  • Permanent Progression: Your god harvests the souls of enemies, converting them into coins to purchase powerful weaponry, upgrade items, & boost your defenses between runs.

  • Leaderboard: Compete against other champions to slaughter the most monsters.

Will you stand and face these mutants- or let the last flames of humanity be snuffed out?
