Battle beyond the Underworld using dark sorcery to take on the Titan of Time in this bewitching sequel to the award-winning rogue-like dungeon crawler.
The sequel introduces "Magick", which allows players to charge up powerful special attacks called "Omega Abilities" that temporarily slow down time. This adds a new layer of tactical decision-making, as players must carefully time the use of these abilities to maximize their effectiveness. Additionally, the "Cast" ability now drops a witchy binding circle on the ground that can be further enhanced through boons, encouraging players to think more strategically about positioning and timing.
Players can choose from a wide variety of weapons, each with unique attack patterns and playstyles, such as the powerful Adamant Rail and the agile Twin Fists. The introduction of "Aspects" for each weapon adds an extra layer of depth, allowing players to further specialize their preferred playstyle by unlocking powerful, game-changing modifiers.
The boon system returns, with players able to collect powerful blessings from the Olympian gods. The sequel expands on this by introducing "Arcana" cards - passive abilities that can be equipped to synergize with specific boons and playstyles. Finding the right combination of boons and Arcana cards is key to crafting a powerful, cohesive build, encouraging players to experiment and explore the game's deep customization systems.
Players can acquire and level up various familiars, such as the Hellhound or Serpent, that can provide unique buffs and abilities during runs. These companions add an extra strategic element, as players must decide which familiar best complements their chosen playstyle and build.
As players progress, the game's challenges and enemy encounters evolve, requiring them to adapt their strategies and builds to overcome increasingly difficult obstacles. This sense of escalating difficulty keeps each run feeling fresh and engaging, with players constantly striving to overcome new obstacles.
