Abathor

About

Abathor is a chaotic 2D platformer where up to four players team up or turn on each other to survive escalating waves of enemies. Set in a crumbling Atlantis, you’ll slash through demons, dodge traps, and navigate perilous environments while balancing cooperation with backstabbing for loot. The game mixes fast-paced combat with tight platforming, all rendered in sharp pixel art and backed by a thunderous soundtrack. Each level ramps up the difficulty, forcing players to adapt as they face everything from swarms of monsters to ancient gods. What sets Abathor apart is its seamless blend of teamwork and betrayal. While you’ll need allies to tackle the game’s grueling challenges, competition for powerups and rewards adds a layer of unpredictability. Early builds impressed with their punishing yet fair design, and the pixel-perfect animations have drawn praise for bringing the mythic setting to life. With support for both local and online play across all major platforms, it’s a high-octane pick-up-and-play experience that thrives on chaos.

Storyline

"Know, oh prince, that in the years when Atlantis ruled the oceans, sins and arrogance unleashed fierce demons. When everything seemed lost, four heroes arrived to close the Gates of Abathor." The Atlantean civilization has angered the gods. They have sent hordes of monsters to punish Atlantis by destroying the continent. Players must cooperate and compete to save Atlantis, going through a series of challenges of increasing difficulty. In their progress, our heroes will fight against ferocious demons and primordial gods, against the living and against the dead, against flying beasts and crawling horrors. They will dodge dangers and traps and descend into chilling abysses. But they will also compete against each other for the loot and the spoils, plundering treasures and offering them to the gods to receive their favor.
