Game Overview
Journey into lands dying and dead to collect black magic grimoires and prolong the Skulltide, so that all skeleton-kind may evade the Grim Reaper forevermore! Grapple with magic that would kill any mortal mage (you die too, you just reanimate). Wield blades renowned through all the lands (taken from the corpses of their former wielders).
Throw your bones, raise the dead, lose your head, and find it again!
- Local and Online Co-op, or both at once!
- Mix-and-match abilities tied to your bones. Gain and lose them all!
- Limbs, skulls, ribs… If you can’t find your own, raise some new ones!
- Collect the spells of those raised, the blades of those killed, and the bodies of those fallen!
- Endless combinations and possibilities, creating a high skill ceiling!
- Casual to pick up, but with endless build and run combinations.
Among all the dead who rise to join the Skulltide, there may be heroic queens and formidable warlocks, there might even be a hero fighting alongside the bones of a killer. However, all are equal before the altar of death! Work together to evade the Grim Reaper, before the Skulltide’s Entropy and Chaos puts an end to your run! However long you survive, losing will always mean you come back stronger.
You can’t keep a dead man down.
- Customize your skeletal remains with materials and magicks you discover in your journeys.
- Build classes with sets of abilities taken from enemies, and lose them when you fall.
- Each death returns to the crypt with more black magic Grimoires in this roguelite!
- Reanimate your friends to keep the tide alive!
The days of the living have come to an end, the Skulltide has begun! The dead have risen from every grave, to either hasten the end or live immortal through it all! As the final sun sets, it is not simple zombies that come from every graveyard, crypt, and burial mound; it is the souls of those already taken by death who return to their long-lost bones. Many are mad and will turn against you, others will join as necromantic allies, and you may even encounter the last gasps of life, not yet taken by Death.
If life should fail, unlife will prevail. The Dark Star rises!
