❤ Gameplay Overview

Players take on the role of either the daemon-hunting protagonist Baron Dashforth or his sidekick Scampwick, performing a theatrical adventure on a live stage. The core gameplay loop challenges players to fight through waves of enemies while executing stylish combos and special moves to entertain the responsive audience.

❤ Combat Mechanics

The combat system provides a satisfying and responsive experience. Players can chain together light and heavy attacks, timing parries and reversals to interrupt enemy attacks and continue their combos. Performing high-scoring combos and completing on-stage challenges keeps the audience's mood meter high - if it depletes, the player fails the level. Mastering this risk-reward dynamic is crucial to success.

❤ Progression and Replayability

As players progress, they unlock new combat abilities and "charms" that grant situational buffs. This progression system, combined with the opportunity to replay levels for higher scores and challenge completions, adds depth and replayability to the otherwise straightforward beat 'em up mechanics.

❤ Co-op Functionality

The game also features local and online co-op, allowing two players to team up as Dashforth and Scampwick. Coordinating attacks and crowd-pleasing antics provides an extra layer of strategy and entertainment.
