About This Game

About This Game

Lifeless is a 2D pixel art action roguelite you can play solo or in co-op. Head out on expeditions, discover relics, and face the bosses standing in your way. Your main resource for getting stronger is the life you collect from your enemies.

FREE PLAYTEST COMING SOON

Soon, you’ll be able to try all available content for free, solo or in co-op.

We’re a team of two developing Lifeless, and your feedback will help us improve the gameplay, balance, and performance. The playtest will grow with development updates as we work towards Early Access.

TAKE THEIR LIFE, STRENGTHEN YOUR CHARACTER

Every defeated enemy passes their vitality on to you, adding to your health pool during the expedition.

This vitality helps you survive combat. Back in the village, you can also spend it on permanent character upgrades to prepare for your next expedition. Bring home a healthy reserve, and you’ll have more to invest in your progression.

FIND YOUR RELIC COMBINATIONS

During your expeditions, you’ll discover relics that change the way you play.

Combine their effects, try different setups, and see what works for you. A new relic might inspire you to rethink your strategy or take an idea a little further.

EXPLORE MAPS THAT CHANGE WITH EVERY EXPEDITION

Maps are procedurally generated, so you’ll have new places to explore and find your way through each time you set out.

Adapt to the terrain and the enemies you encounter to bring your vitality back to the village.

FACE THE BOSSES

Bosses will put your upgrades and relics to the test.

Watch their attacks, learn their mechanics, and look for openings to strike back. Each encounter will challenge you to make the most of what you’ve learned and collected along the way.

COMPETE WITH OTHER PLAYERS IN ENDLESS MODE

In Endless Mode, push further and try to beat your personal best. Put your relic combinations to the test and see how your results stack up against other players on the leaderboard.

There’s always another goal for your next attempt: beat your record and climb a few places.

WE’D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU

The game is still in development: you may encounter bugs, and some mechanics may change based on testing and your feedback.

Tell us about a fight that’s hard to understand, a relic combination you love, a performance issue, or simply how you felt after a run. We’re interested in all of it.

You can find our Discord in the links on this page to share your thoughts and report any problems you encounter.
