Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse

Frontside 180 Studio developed and Pocketpair Publishing released Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse. Basically, this fresh 2D action game mixes classic platforming jumps with wild roguelite rules. You play as a living, cursed hat instead of a normal human hero. Consequently, you must possess the bodies of your foes to fight through very dark, deep dungeons.

About the Game

First, the game blends two massive genres perfectly. Therefore, you get the deep, locked maps of a metroidvania and the random rooms of a true roguelite. Furthermore, dying sends your magic hat right back to a tiny ruined village. As a result, you must use the gold you gathered to build fresh shops and buy strong gear. Moreover, the beautiful hand-painted art makes the entire dark world look exactly like a classic pop-up picture book.

Características principales

Enemy Possession: Specifically, your magic hat can jump onto bad guys. Thus, you steal their bodies and use their unique attacks to survive hard fights.
Fun Team Play: Next, you can easily invite your best friends to help. Indeed, up to four players can dive into the deep dungeons together online.
Random Maps: Also, the game builds fresh terrain every single run. Consequently, every trip into the ancient ruins feels totally new and very dangerous.
Village Building: Meanwhile, you slowly rebuild a dead town. For instance, planting gardens and fixing broken homes gives you huge permanent buffs for your next big run.
