Estencel

About

Estencel throws you into a twisted urban nightmare where jagged towers loom over a city infected with eldritch rot. You play as a blade-wielding assassin upgrading weapons and abilities to carve through hordes of grotesque enemies. Combat emphasizes quick reflexes and strategic builds, with melee strikes and special attacks chaining into fluid combos. The game supports co-op play for up to four players, including local split screen, letting friends join the carnage without leaving the room. The split-screen mode is a standout, offering tight multiplayer synergy that feels responsive and fun. Procedural generation reshapes the labyrinthine city each run, encouraging creative route planning and repeated attempts. While some players note a steep learning curve, community reviews highlight the rewarding mix of exploration and combat. With a 78% on Metacritic, it’s a punchy pick for groups craving chaotic teamwork and self-customization in a grimy fantasy setting.
