About This Game

About This Game

BLACKROT is a fast-paced arcade action roguelite. You are the last kill program in an infected network. Fight your way to the core and stop the BLACKROT infection before it consumes everything.

Dash through enemies, parry projectiles, and paint the walls red. Move strategically between rooms and dodge the attacks coming your way.

Battle challenging bosses standing in your way. Each one tougher than the last.

Use game-changing upgrades to show your enemies who's boss.

Every level is procedurally generated, every run a new challenge.

Gameplay

• Dash through enemies: Every dash is both an attack and an evasive maneuver.

• Parry projectiles: Throw shots back at their sender.

• Slow down time: Stand still and time slows down, giving you space to plan every move.

• Style Meter: Play clean and aggressive to build multipliers and chase high scores.

Rooms, Bosses & Upgrades

• Procedurally generated levels: Every run rebuilds the floor layout with different rooms, enemies and routes. No two runs are alike.

• Challenging bosses: They block your path, and each one is tougher than the last.

• Run-defining upgrades: Unlock new abilities in the skill tree, such as Burst, Deflect and Time Slow, and tailor them to your playstyle.

• Hub & chapters: Between runs you return to the hub, choose your next chapter and invest your progress. Each chapter has its own theme.

• Story: Push deep into the heart of the network to stop BLACKROT until its too late.
