Relic Hunters Zero is a character-focused co-op that will task players with some “timey wimey” travel to the past to thwart a mysterious villain from destroying the galaxy.

The previous game in the series, Relic Hunters Zero, was a 100% free-to-play, open-sourced game on Steam that boasted an engaged community of over a million players around the world. Rogue Snail is now fully focused on expanding the Relic Hunters universe to a full commercial release.

Relic Hunters Legend brings deep RPG mechanics to players coupled with top-down run and gun combat for up to four players simultaneously. The character-driven elements allow players to customize their Hunter to suit their personal playstyle while traipsing through a world of quirky cartoon graphics. The game’s PC version will support 4K resolution as well as an unlocked framerate for a gorgeous and smooth gaming experience.

Alongside the update comes a character spotlight featuring the sassy support character Raff, the Party Engineer. With an arsenal of abilities, Raff now is able to support her teammates through jammin’ tunes and pump out some damage with her trusty Keytar.

The latest role to be added is the support that is now available with the inclusion of Raff’s full kit of abilities. Raff powers up her teammates with the variety of tunes in her music aura including the adrenaline pumping battle song, and the revitalizing soothing song. Raff is also able to get her teammates the quick escape they need with her up the tempo speed buff. When some serious damage or healing is needed Raff is able to use her Keytar Blast ability which blasts enemies away while also healing her team. When in close-up combat Raff packs a wallop with her trusty wrench melee skill.

While players are shooting and looting their way through the latest update of Relic Hunters Legend, they’ll be able to use the newly added “special weapons” which replace the weapon in a player’s loadout such as Raff’s Keytar. Players will also be able to now shoot multiple projectiles out of their guns with the same shot and revel in dozens of new skill effects and sounds. With the full party update, Relic Hunters can now team up with three of their friends to form a complete party of four to chase down sweet loot and the mysterious past-stealing villain.

Currently in alpha, Relic Hunters Legend is playable for Kickstarter backers and Founders on PC.
