Our take on Slasher's Keep
The inventory sack is also a weapon: it can send enemies into spikes or chasms, making the dungeon's surroundings part of combat.
What is Slasher's Keep?
Slasher's Keep is a first-person roguelite about escaping a dungeon, with melee combat and loot at its center.
Each run takes place in randomly generated levels containing traps and secrets. Combat includes different melee swings and thrusts, precise parrying, and the option to push enemies into spikes or chasms with an inventory sack. Randomly generated items provide stats and abilities, while magic wands offer ranged attacks. Players can choose between two characters, with more to unlock, and use a drag-and-drop crafting system. Death leads to a new dungeon, and characters grow stronger across runs. The game uses cel-shaded models and hand-drawn sprites.
