Ravenswatch is a top-down roguelite action game that combines intense real-time combat with deep gameplay and high replay value.

Developed by the studio behind the widely acclaimed game Curse of the Dead GodsRavenswatch asks those who dare to confront the hordes of Nightmares, which are corrupting the world of Reverie.

Inhabitants of Reverie, it's time to stand against the Nightmares that assail you. We are the Ravens, and we have assembled the heroes of legend to lead the counterattack. The Ravenswatch is going forth to seize the Dark Hills from the claws of the Nightmares that stole them from us. As soon as you join the Ravenswatch, you will begin writing the next pages of our history by cleansing Reverie of corruption!

Fallen heroes of old folk tales and legends: you are on the verge of a crucial battle against the Nightmare invading and corrupting your world.

Passtech returns with a new formula and game experience that can be played solo or with up to four players in co-op.

Ravenswatch is now available via Steam Early Access and features the first chapter and six playable characters.

Today the Ravenswatch is made up of 6 famous heroes with diverse, complementary skills that they can use to overcome enemies that get in their way:

  • Scarlet, Little Red Riding Hood, who has become the werewolf that she once fought against.
  • Franz, the Pied Piper of Hamelin, whose magic pipe lures hordes of rats.
  • Beowulf, the Goth warrior-king, accompanied by a dragon whelp.
  • Nyss, the Snow Queen, who can freeze her enemies and slide across the battlefield.
  • Aladdin, the thief whose wishes can turn the tide of combat.
  • Melusine, the siren who can control a devastating orb.

4 additional heroes are on their way and will join the ranks of the Ravenswatch in the coming months. The lush lands of Reverie are no longer as they once were. Corrupted by the Nightmare hordes, they are now home to the most fearsome enemies

Be on your guard, for arduous combat awaits:

  • Set off on a quest alone or with the help of 2 or 3 companions. Choose them with care, for they will be your sole allies.
  • But thanks to Revive Feathers, you no longer fear death, and you can learn from multiple defeats.
  • The Nightmares adapt to your presence. They transform their environment and reorganise their troops each time you make a fresh attempt.
  • During your journey, you will encounter powerful enemies, perilous caverns, inhabitants in distress and jealously-guarded treasures.
  • Your bond with each of your heroes intensifies with time, giving you access to new skills.
  • Each experience you acquire and each treasure you uncover makes you stronger. Put your discoveries to good use to create new synergies with your teammates.
  • Within each region a particularly ferocious Nightmare reigns supreme. You must defeat it by hook or by crook before you continue your adventure.
  • To defeat the Nightmares, you must vanquish 3 corrupted regions.
  • If ever the terrors no longer freeze your blood, you can set off in search of enemies that are even slyer, tougher and more powerful.

Key Features:

  • BANISH THE NIGHTMARE FROM YOUR REALM: The Nightmares are spreading within Reverie, corrupting everything in their path. You must hone your skills and find the strength to defeat the creatures of the Nightmare using unique hero abilities inspired by characters from folk tales and legends.
  • DYNAMIC GAMEPLAY: To defeat the Nightmare and reach the final chapter, you will need a strong build, focus and excellent teamwork. Increase your fighting power in battles then face the level boss when you feel ready… or when you no longer have a choice.
  • DARK TALES: The world of Reverie is built on old folk tales and legends. From the three little pigs to Norse mythology to One Thousand and One Nights, the best-known tales are revisited in a dark-fantasy style and add their timeless appeal to the atmosphere of Ravenswatch.
  • HIGH REPLAY VALUE: Run after run, play as different heroes, make the most of the upgrades and items you find, and explore a randomly generated map with new activities and new enemies.
  • An exciting roguelite that can be played solo or in co-op with up to four players
  • Art design inspired by Dark Comic Books and rousing music
  • Multiple synergies to create between the different heroes through the party system
  • Upgrades and an extensive enemy bestiary
