Our take on SWORN
Its broad build system trades away a single fixed combat approach. Players must choose among character, weapon, ability, and blessing combinations, while the squire’s development adds a progression layer before or alongside attempts to face Arthur.
What is SWORN?
SWORN is a cooperative action roguelike for 1–4 players, set in a fallen Camelot ruled by a corrupted Arthur and his knights.
Players can adventure alone or join friends, combining character choices, weapons, abilities, and more than 200 blessings from the Fae Lords. The battlegrounds of Camelot change, while these choices support thousands of possible builds. Merlin, Nimue, and other figures from Arthurian legend appear throughout the adventure. Progression at the Beacon of Avalore upgrades the squire over time, while players seeking a greater challenge can face Arthur before completing that progression. The game presents Avalon through a comic-inspired world with original art and sound.
