'Skeletal Avenger' Looking For Alpha Testers, Sign Up Now - Trailer

by Rainier on March 16, 2021 @ 2:45 p.m. PDT

Skeletal Avenger is a hack'n'slash reverse roguelite with decapitating special moves.

Crawl through the dungeons, gain new gear and devastating perks. Avenge a thousand wrongs in a reverse roguelite where the skeletal avengers ascend from the depths to demand a payment in blood!

What does reverse roguelite mean? In Skeletal Avenger it means instead of delving deeper into a dungeon, you ascend from the depths towards the surface where your target is waiting. Every re-animated skeleton has a grudge to settle with someone: A target for revenge - a nemesis.

Instead of playing until dying, you play until you or your nemesis dies. You gain bigger rewards if the quest ends in completing the revenge. If you die, your revenge fails - but there'll be always more grudges to settle.

One of the core features we love are the self-decapitating special moves: The avenger will remove his head and use it as a weapon! What the head does depends on the head gear and there'll be plenty of variation. The head might explode or it might vomit necrotic slime. Or maybe it rolls like a bowling ball.

So, prepare for an outrageously fun and fresh hack'n'slash experience.

10tons are currently in the late alpha stage and looking for some testers. Testers need a Windows PC and a Steam account and potential testers can use this sign up form.

Key Features:

  • Fast-paced ultra-responsive hack'n'slash action
  • Decapitate yourself to do special attacks: Your hat determines the effect

  • Endless amount of quests to complete - each one ending in sweet revenge
  • Gain rewards and equip your avengers with increasingly powerful gear

Skeletal Avenger will be released on PC Steam Early Access in 2021, with full release planned for PC (Steam) and current/next-gen consoles. 10tons has plans to support several next-gen console features like high resolution rendering, high refresh rates, and more.
