Roguelite Single- & Multiplayer
Alone or together with friends: Fight against evil and use your skills tactically in team battles. Trade items found in multiplayer with your teammates to strengthen the group's combat power.

“You are what you wear” — no predefined hero classes, you have complete freedom in how you equip and play your character.
Varied game world
Explore different areas with open landscapes and dungeons. These are randomly generated every time you start a new game.

Control your hero directly: Instead of using point-and-click to move your character, we rely on WASD for movement as well as precise aiming with the mouse.
