Wraithbinder is an action roguelike RPG with metroidvania-inspired ability progression. Each run you build a different sequence of weapons, abilities and relics. Keep your armor, stats and gold across runs. Play offline solo. Online co-op coming soon.
Each run you play through a randomly-generated dungeon crawl while building a new sequence of weapons and abilities. When you discover a new ability you get to choose between multiple, allowing you to craft your experience. New abilities will unlock previously inaccessible areas in a Metroidvania-like fashion.
Relics are powerful artifacts that buff your character or debuff enemies in certain ways. Relics also come as a choice, allowing you to choose one that meets the style you are going for in the current run.
When you die, you keep your armor and stats. Between runs you return to your ship where you can permanently power up your character using the light, gold and metal you have collected.
Some abilities and weapons you can find:
- Sword
- Axe
- Bow
- Boomerang
- Grenades
- Bombs
- Charge (charge up your blade for an explosive attack)
- Boots (run fast)
- Blink (teleport forward a few steps)
- Jump
- Levitate
- Shield
- Wraithbinding (Necromancy)
- Skybot (Build buildings)
- Telekinesis
