It's up to you to become the Endless, a mysterious skeleton, and embark on a perilous journey. Collect monster body parts to enhance your character and use a variety of abilities. Explore sinister locations, fight mythical creatures and uncover the secrets of the Underworld.
The game casts players as the Endless, a mysterious skeleton, on a perilous journey through a procedurally generated Underworld. The core gameplay loop revolves around collecting and enhancing the protagonist's capabilities by looting the body parts of defeated monsters.
Players can collect a diverse array of monster body parts, each offering unique abilities and passive effects. This allows for a high degree of customization, enabling players to tailor their character to different playstyles, such as a tank-like build, a glass cannon, or a focus on melee or magic abilities. The rarity system further enhances this, with higher-rarity parts providing more powerful bonuses.
The game follows a classic roguelite structure, where death sends the player back to the beginning. However, the "Ink Tables" mechanic allows players to save certain body parts for future runs, providing a sense of persistent progression and making each subsequent run feel like a tangible step forward in the character's power and capabilities.
The gameplay blends action-packed combat and challenging platforming. Players must master a variety of abilities, such as dashes, double jumps, and weapon mastery, to overcome the increasingly formidable enemies and environmental obstacles. The combat system is described as satisfying and demanding, requiring strategic thinking and adaptability.
The procedurally generated world offers a sense of replayability and discovery. Players can explore a variety of sinister locations, each filled with unique monsters, traps, and hidden secrets to uncover. The randomized nature of the environment encourages players to approach each run with a fresh mindset, as the challenges and obstacles they face may differ significantly from one playthrough to the next.
The overwhelmingly positive user reviews praise the game's unique character progression system, satisfying combat, and sense of challenge and replayability. Many reviewers express excitement for the game's continued development and the potential for new content and features to be added in the future.
