Chained together in Purgatory, two rival warlords must set aside their grudges to conquer the embodiments of their sins. Only through brutal trials and unwavering cooperation can they ascend to the afterlife.

Use the chain to interact with both the environment and your partner in creative and chaotic ways.

This isn’t just a gimmick; the chain has actual physics and utility:

Trip bosses mid-attack.

Entrap enemies in a tight coil.

Clothesline entire mobs by pulling the chain tight and charging in unison.

Yank your partner to safety... or doom (usually doom).

Will you cooperate and turn the chain into a weapon of its own?
Or will poor communication make you rage at each other and your physical constraints?

Combat is impactful and precise, with a strong emphasis on positioning and tactics. Enemies are punishing but fair, making mastery of combat a rewarding pursuit. The Soul Chain forces an extra layer of coordination - failure to communicate is fatal.

Those unwilling to join forces and accept the chains that bind will face an early demise.

Six deadly trials block your path to ascension, each representing the great evils of war, manifested into towering, relentless adversaries. Boss encounters demand mindful cooperation - only those who fight in unison will endure.

As warlords, the weight of your sins is immeasurable.

Absolution will only come to those that work together to overcome the devious platforming challenges of the tower and learn to accept the chains that bind.

The only way to the afterlife is to ascend, and to ascend, you must climb.

A vast, wide-linear world awaits those who dare to face its challenges, towering over you with breathtaking verticality. In this world of giants, the Colossal Tower pierces the atmosphere. From the base, its summit is barely visible. From the peak, the world below feels like a miniature model. Few other games make you feel so small in a world so vast.

Versatility in combat is one of a warlord's most essential skills. Will you keep it simple and remain agile with a Short Sword, deliver devastating blows with a Great Sword, or pierce your enemies with the finesse of a Polearm? Your choice of weapon isn’t just personal - it affects your partner’s strategy as well. Find the perfect synergy or perish trying; experiment and adapt to every battle.

A Streamlined light RPG system allows you to build your warlord the way you want without keeping you out of the action for too long. The combinations of both players' stats and personal skills unlock a new layer of depth to the gameplay and allow you to approach challenges in ways that suit your unique playstyle.

Looking for even more mayhem? Havoc Mode lets up to 4 players face the madness together, where chaos reigns and cooperation is tested like never before.

Demo is live now! Supports online co-op for 2 players. Wishlist for updates when the full game releases!
