The official game description reads, “From the creators of Nidhogg comes a game about 2D platforming survival. You’ll have to parkour your way around treacherous dungeons to kite monsters while gathering blood and powerups. Survive a run, take the bones you’ve earned to the Bone Shop, and get stronger. Complete quests to unlock upgrades, arenas, skins, and more.”
In the game, players can unlock nine playable characters, each with different traits and weapons. Moreover, they can unlock six unique survival arenas. These contain over 100 different types of enemies, including bats, centaurs, and exploding eyeballs.
These enemies have abilities that let them fly, walk on walls, or stick to them. To succeed in battles, players must learn their movements and outsmart them to harvest their blood.
There are over 100 quests that players get to complete, with more than 100 unlockable weapons and upgrades. Gamers must increase their blood levels to upgrade the character’s build and also find hidden chests throughout the arenas. The game also includes the dynamic dungeon dnb soundtrack by Thomas Hooey.
