About "Rotten Life"

Core Game Features

▸ Hardcore Side-scrolling Action × Roguelike Adventure

Classic arcade-style controls, with a focus on a realistic combat system:​

Sparks from clashing swords, staggering recoil when hit, weight differences between weapons—every detail is designed to immerse you in the high-stakes thrill of "fighting for your life with every strike."​

No flashy over-the-top effects here. Instead, we use realistic limb-damage detection and hit feedback to make every battle feel like a do-or-die gamble.

▸ Brutal Mercenary Survival Simulation

Play as a downtrodden mercenary broken by war, and traverse a vivid medieval landscape.​

From plague-ridden villages and fallen castles to cursed dungeons, use your hard-earned bounties to upgrade your equipment or master more powerful combat moves.

▸ Explore Dark Underground Worlds (In Development)

Current Demo version includes: 4 main weapon styles / freely customizable combo system

Full version will add: rich random events / mechanical traps and puzzles / legendary Boss battles (your feedback will directly influence development priorities!)
