About This Game

Golf with a Twist

Tee off and your ball becomes your objective. Monsters will attack you as you attempt to reach your ball. Reaching the ball raises a temporary shield bubble so you can line up your next strike. The longer you aim the worse your accuracy gets.

Your Score Changes the Difficulty

Every stroke over par raises your Curse Level which leads to faster spawns, heavier mobs, and deadly elite enemies. Scoring under par lowers your Curse level and increases coin rewards. Meanwhile, Dusk creeps in the longer you spend on a hole, darkening the course and making things more chaotic. Expect to die a lot, the game is intended to be difficult!

Swing For Your Life

Your clubs do more than lower your score. Swing through monsters, charge a hit to send them flying, and dodge incoming attacks. Your ball is a weapon too: drive through a group of them, then fight your way to its landing spot.

Six Ways to Play

  • CAMPAIGN — A challenging 36-hole journey across two acts: The Old Links and the Corrupted Underworld. A boss guards every ninth hole. Conquer the Campaign to unlock the next Tour Card, a mutation that raises the difficulty. There are 15 in all, and the global leaderboard ranks your best score on your furthest Tour Card.

  • ONSLAUGHT — Nine procedurally generated holes joined into one huge map, with a new course every time. See how fast you can clear every hole while surviving hordes of enemies and bosses, and race everyone on the global leaderboard.

  • THE GAUNTLET — Endless, procedurally generated holes, so no two runs are the same. A real-time leaderboard shows how far you are from the record. The deeper you go, the harder and more chaotic the holes become! 

  • DAILY & SPRINT — Play either 9 or 18 holes against anyone in the world on a brand new unique course every day.

  • COURSE DESIGNER — Create custom 18 hole courses tile by tile. Features a large variety of different course elements for endless variety. Test the course out as you are building it, then publish it for anyone to try. 

  • HEAD TO HEAD — Play the same procedurally generated course as a friend or a random opponent from anywhere in the world, in two different formats. Rank up as you play; win streaks climb the rankings faster. Reach the top of the leaderboard.

Build Your Run

Every hole ends with ways to make you stronger by drafting perks, club mods, and unique ball types that change how you play. Build across seven distinct perk synergy lines: Precision, Power, Brawl, Speed, Storm, Control, and Greed; focus entirely on one or experiment which fit your playstyle best!
