What is An Ankou?

This top-down action roguelike casts you as a servant of Death guiding lost souls out of a haunted land. In each run, you gather resources, craft and upgrade equipment, and fight growing waves of demons and bosses. Your character's former profession shapes the tools and abilities available to you.

For you if...

  • +you like fast-paced fights against escalating enemy waves
  • +you enjoy gathering resources and crafting gear during runs
  • +you want repeatable challenges in a dark fantasy setting

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike repeated runs with increasingly difficult fights
  • −you want combat without gathering resources or crafting equipment
