Ravenswatch

About

Ravenswatch is a roguelike action-RPG where you battle invading Nightmares in a world of folk tale heroes. Choose from characters with unique abilities inspired by legends, then team up or play solo to survive procedurally generated levels. Combat mixes fast melee attacks with timed dodges and special skills, requiring quick thinking to counter relentless waves of enemies. The game’s co-op mode supports online play, letting you and a partner tackle challenges together or watch each other die in the chaotic roguelike loop. The game builds on the same studio’s previous roguelike, Curse of the Dead Gods, adding sharper combat and deeper hero customization. With release set for September 2024, it lands on all major platforms including Switch and PC. Early builds show a solid grasp of action-RPG fundamentals, though some players have noted a steep learning curve for the dodge-and-counter system. The blend of mythic aesthetics and roguelike unpredictability makes it a standout pick for fans of permadeath challenges.
