Our take on Rebellion
Its defining structure is a revenge journey through a castle whose layouts and routes change between runs, while decisions and player experience can open different paths.
What is Rebellion?
Rebellion is an action game combining souls-like combat with roguelite structure.
The player begins imprisoned and must escape, explore a castle, and eventually confront its King. Castle areas use procedurally generated layouts, with story routes that can change through decisions and player experience. Combat includes attacks, dodges, parries, kicks, weapons, and backstabs, while stealth allows enemies to be avoided or approached from behind. Allies can be recruited to form a squad, with equipment and combat behavior managed for each member. Enemies share movement capabilities with the player and may become difficult to handle in groups. Defeating enemies develops fighting skills and character level while providing access to new weapons.
