Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re using Early Access to work closely with our community while finishing and refining the game. The core experience is already in place, but we believe the best version of the game will come from listening to player feedback, balancing gameplay, and improving quality-of-life features based on real-world play. Early Access allows us to shape the final experience together with the community rather than developing in isolation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months. This timeframe allows us to complete the remaining planned content, iterate on balance and performance, and respond to community feedback at a thoughtful pace.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version launches as a feature-complete experience, including all core gameplay systems, full multiplayer support (online, local, and mixed play), multiple game modes, biomes, weapons, and gear.

During Early Access, we plan to:
* Complete the final biome and the final boss encounter
* Implement the game’s ending
* Refine gameplay balance, progression, and overall polish

Beyond that, we have ideas for additional content such as new game modes, weapons, gear, enemies, and other expansions, but we want to let community feedback guide these decisions rather than committing to specific additions upfront.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version launches in a fully playable and content-rich state. Players can experience the full core loop, including:
* All core mechanics
* Online and local multiplayer, including mixed local/online play
* Five distinct game modes
* At least two biomes very different biomes
* A selection of weapons and gear with meaningful variation and progression

While the game is stable and complete in terms of core systems, Early Access will be used to improve balance, add remaining content, and polish the experience based on player feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan for the game to be priced lower during Early Access and to increase in price once development is complete and the full version is released. This reflects the additional content, polish, and overall scope planned for the final release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play a central role throughout Early Access. We plan to actively listen to players through forums, social media, and community discussions, using their input to guide balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and future content direction.

Our goal is not to add content for the sake of it, but to deepen what already works, ensuring that new ideas meaningfully improve the overall experience rather than expanding it unnecessarily.”

About This Game

Cursed Blood is a brutal 1–4 player co-op roguelike set in a twisted bloodpunk samurai world, where ruthless apes wield katanas in a revenge-fueled rampage against the mafia that desecrated their sacred Shrine of Vermillion.

The Shrine now calls for retribution — and it’s paid in blood, delivered through unrelenting katana combat and sheer brutality.

Mix both online and local co-op seamlessly — couch warriors and distant friends can join the same blood-soaked run.

Or go solo and carve your path through vengeance alone, armed with nothing but your blade and rage.

Dash, deflect, and dismember with samurai precision. Chain lightning-fast moves, brutal takedowns, and charged slashes into seamless high-speed melee combat.

Unleash devastating finishers and heal by consuming the blood of your enemies — every strike feeding the Shrine’s hunger.

Each procedurally generated level overflows with danger, secrets, and non-stop, blood-fueled action.

Rip weapons from your enemies and turn their firepower against them — until the ammo runs dry.

Then hurl the gun back in their face and unleash a charged katana strike to split them clean in half.

Blood sprays, limbs fly, and the survivors crawl away begging for mercy. None will be given.

Explore a stunning bloodpunk world where industrial-era machinery fuses with forbidden blood-powered technology.

Collect Blood Orbs from chests, bosses, and hidden loot to unlock deadly katanas and specialized gear tied to the world mutation you’re fighting through.

Earn Blood Orbs in battle to upgrade your equipped weapons and gear, evolving your abilities and carving out your own ruthless playstyle.

Face a brutal roster of evolving bosses — each mutating into stronger, more vicious forms mid-fight.

Slay them, take their heads, and offer their remains to the Shrine of Vermillion to restore balance through carnage.

Unlock World Mutations that twist the rules of combat and reshape every run. Conquer them to earn new katanas, powers, and endless replayability.

Cursed Blood is a relentless roguelike co-op action game — a challenge to master, a feast for the violent, and something to sink your teeth (and blade) into for hours on end.
