About the game
You enter a cursed fantasy world with a weapon and a character ability, then hunt for the power to escape. You clear enemy camps, collect upgrades and fight bosses as each run moves through different maps. Swords, bows, spells and guns give you different ways to fight. Combining powerups changes how your attacks work, while the day and night cycle keeps pressure on your search for useful loot.
Up to eight players can join the same online run, though lobbies start at four and the developer focuses its balance on smaller groups. You cover friends, combine attacks and use shrines to bring fallen players back. Later attempts carry over profile unlocks and upgrades. It suits a group that wants repeated fights and build experiments, with short breaks between the dangerous parts.
