Fallen Heroes of old folk tales and legends: You are on the verge of a crucial battle against the Nightmare invading your world.
FEATURES
- TALES GONE DARK. Ravenswatch is a top-down roguelike action game in which you play as heroes of tales and legends that must slay hordes of nightmarish creatures in nerve-racking fights. After the success of Curse of the Dead Gods©, Passtech Games returns with an improved formula and an addictive game experience with endless replay value. It can be played solo or with up to four players in co-op.
- 9 HEROES INSPIRED BY POPULAR HEROES. Play as 9 heroes, each with a unique twist and individual gameplay, including Little Red Riding Hood, who suffers from lycanthropy; Sun Wukong, the fallen monkey king; the Snow Queen with her evil powers; and many other familiar characters who have a darker side and are more violent than you might remember.
- BANISH THE NIGHTMARE FROM REVERIE. The Nightmare has invaded the world of dreams and is corrupting everything in its wake. Faced with this evil, the Ravenswatch is gathering heroes from tales and legends from all over the world to lead a crucial battle and restore the fragile balance. But the heroes themselves have been corrupted. How deep do the roots of this evil go?
- Explore 3 open maps filled with activities and inspired by enchanted forests and marshes, One Thousand and One Nights, and Arthurian legends respectively.

FAN ART
Controls are easy to pick up and very responsive in combat.
Heroes all have own look and own moves and own feel to them which make them play very different and can unlock heroes for completing first chapter with certain characters.
Enemies have big variety to them and all have own look and own attacks to learn to counter to avoid special attacks and more.
Perks are impressive as alot of them and own look and feel and can be upgraded on runs.
Art style is pretty and detailed.
Mods are great as can turn them on to make game harder or adjust to make game easier and alot of options and all own uses to suit own playstyle, One which is very useful to have on is the no time limit as base game has a timer until you are dragged into boss fight so if turn off can fully explore each level at own pace and be much more ready for boss fight of each level.
Stories are great as all the characters have own back story to unlock through playing them and leveling them up.
World is fun and great as all have own look and vibe to them and all have own side quests and optional bosses and ways to reduce bosses health and much more.
Alot of content for the price as so many characters and possible builds to play and high replay options and very fun solo or co op and so much more in the game.
Can be daunting as alot of different perks to try.
