by Rainier on May 17, 2023 @ 5:13 p.m. PDT

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.

Passtech Games revealed the next hero to join the Ravenswatch as well as announce the May 31, 2023 release date of the Spring Steam Early Access update!

Make room for Geppetto, the Italian woodcarver, and father of Pinocchio!

Geppetto has found the best way to compensate for the loss of his arm. Part hand-to-hand combatant, part ranged hero, the mad inventor can summon animated puppets to fight for him. Geppetto is no longer young, and his brand new creations are ready to fight!

One of the strengths of the carpenter is his ability to engage in combat, while taking the minimum of risks. Armed with his hammer and explosives, the newest member of the Ravenswatch sees each of his skills able to interact with both his enemies and his creations. For example, his attacks and combat techniques can be turned against his own puppets to heal them, protect them, or send them into battle.

Finally, Geppetto's great weakness lies in his great dependence on his inventions. Even if the hero can stay away from danger, he will often have to get close to it to manipulate his henchmen.


The Spring Update - also now known as the  Geppetto Update - will release on May 31st with even more content:

  • Geppetto joins the Ravenswatch with his own set of abilities and special trait, 14 Upgrades, and 2 Ultimates
  • All the heroes can unlock their second Ultimate ability
  • Teleport yourself from anywhere on the map, while not in combat
  • More voicelines and now short dialogs between the heroes
  • And more!

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
