About This Game

A co-op action roguelike that takes the top-down, ability-driven run structure and builds it for a team, casting up to four players as reimagined folklore heroes across an open, timed map. The character design is strong, the combat responsive, and critics landed it in Strong territory with an OpenCritic near 80, several outlets praising how it plays with friends.

The split is the story here. Player reception sits noticeably cooler than the critical line, and the reason is consistent: solo play is poorly balanced against the co-op design, with some bosses close to unfair alone and little in-game teaching for newcomers. It is squarely the pick for a Hades player who wished the loop were multiplayer and has a group to bring, and a harder sell for anyone who plays mostly alone. Runs on PS5 and PS4.

Highlights

  • Cooperative gameplay for up to four players
  • Unique characters inspired by folklore with distinct abilities
  • Procedurally generated maps for varied experiences
  • Compelling combo system promoting teamwork
  • Immersive dark fantasy art style
  • Dynamic event system that adds unpredictability
  • Rich lore that deepens world-building
