About the game

You are the Hunter: black armor, tattered cloak, a sword too big for any man and a crossbow strapped to your arm. Beyond the portal wait 100 chambers of stone, bone and embers, and a god who has watched you die a thousand times and still finds it funny.

Key features

01

Combat with real weight

Every strike has wind-up, contact and consequence. Chain sword combos, fire crossbow bolts mid-fight, drag enemies in with the iron hook and wake the berserker with Fury.

02

A descent that never repeats

Four regions: the Ash Crypts, the Forges of Exile, the Halls of Oaths and the Threshold. 100 chambers, 5 challenge types, elites with affixes, traps and four three-phase bosses.

03

Pacts sealed in wax

Ancient powers offer pacts that change the way you fight and combine in unexpected ways. The Sanctum turns every defeat into strength for the next attempt.

04

The Hall of Ashes

Between descents, return to a ruined cathedral with five residents. On the throne sits the Maker, the bored god who narrates your run and breaks the fourth wall.

05

Heavy metal from start to finish

A heavy metal soundtrack that swells with the combat, stylized gore, grim low poly environments and dramatic lighting.

06

Highlights

Isometric hack'n'slash with the feel of Hades, Devil May Cry and God of War. Roguelike with permanent progression.
