Our take on Deathtide
Rather than centering on a single fixed build, the game structures its combat around changing combinations of heroes, active artifacts, equipment, and consumables across runs. Its enemies also coordinate around battlefield conditions, adding a tactical layer to its army-focused action.
What is Deathtide?
Deathtide is an action RPG set in a devastated world occupied by undead creatures, demons, and giant bosses.
Players travel through dangerous environments, face challenging encounters, and uncover pieces of lost lore. Each hero has a distinct combat style and special abilities to learn. More than 40 items include artifacts with active powers, equipment that changes hero attributes, and consumables such as potions and scrolls. Combining these items with hero abilities creates different power combinations between runs. Elite enemies use battlefield-aware behavior and coordinate their attacks. The game focuses on fighting large groups of enemies while adapting to changing encounters and selecting combinations of heroes, equipment, artifacts, and consumables.
