About the game
You choose a member of the Bergson family and fight through dungeons threatened by the Corruption. Each relative has a different weapon or ability, from a sword and shield to a bow or fire magic. The rooms change between attempts. You return home with experience and money, buy lasting upgrades and watch small scenes about the family before heading out again.
Two players can fight together locally, or online in supported versions such as Steam, Switch and mobile. You pick different heroes and stay close enough to help through crowded fights. Local play uses one shared view. Online crossplay is confirmed between Android and iOS. The family story gives the repeated battles a purpose, while Family Trials offers a separate set of randomized dungeon challenges.
