Our take on Wildkeepers Rising
Rather than centering a lone hero, this action-RPG combines bullet-heaven combat with creature collecting. Repeated runs are shaped by team composition, while Guardians and Wildkeepers provide the changing structure for each build.
What is Wildkeepers Rising?
Wildkeepers Rising is a hand-drawn action-RPG roguelite built around bullet-heaven runs.
Players discover, tame, and train magical Guardian beasts, then assemble teams to fight invading monster hordes. Different team combinations support varied build choices during each run, while different Wildkeepers bring different weapons. Between runs, players can unlock additional Guardians and items and increase their strength. RPG story elements accompany exploration through a fantasy world populated by heroes and magical monsters. The game is being developed in Early Access, with the developers planning expansion through community feedback.
