What is Swordcery?

You play Colt in an Early Access action roguelite set in Armorial, where a giant fallen blade is draining the planet's power. Runs take you through procedurally generated dungeons to fight enemies and bosses, collect relics, and choose sword-class upgrades. Combat combines class-specific melee combos, magical attacks, and resource management.
