About this game
Netherworld Covenant is a dark fantasy 3D isometric action roguelike centered on precision combat and Soul Companion powers to deliver a hardcore, strategically rich experience. Control the survivor of a catastrophic disaster, wielding the Nether Lantern—a forbidden artifact bridging the mortal realm and the netherworld—to forge pacts with the souls of deceased allies. Venture into procedurally generated labyrinths to challenge corrupted heroes and demonic lords.
A Complete Evolution! The Final Covenant Begins!
The highlights of Official 1.0 Version comparing to the Early Access include:
Expanded Class Depth: 5 new playable classes: Berserker, Mage, Hunter, Shield Guard, and Useless Person; 4 new weapons: Double-Bladed Axe, Staff, Bow, and Spear
Comprehensive Gameplay Upgrades: 2 new game modes: Boss Rush and Chaos Mode; 2 new difficulty modes: Iron Crown Frenzy and Corruption Mode
Complete Story Progression: Addition of Chapters 5 and 6, completing the ending animation
System Overhaul & Massive Content Additions: Significant additions and restructuring of the Aura and Relic systems; Expanded variety of random events, accessories, and secondary weapons; Over 50 optimizations covering character mobility, resource allocation, and balance adjustments; 4 new character skins
The Beauty of Precision
Combat prioritizes tactical mastery over frenetic combos. Parry, dodge, and execute Ethereal Dash to evade attacks, then counter with lethal strikes. Every decision—timing, resource allocation, and positioning—deepens the strategic depth of encounters.
Bound by Souls, Empowered by the Dead
The Soul Companion system offers diverse combat strategies, featuring four distinct spectral allies: Swordsman, Ranger, Guardian, and Rogue. Harness their abilities to phase through obstacles, ambush foes from the netherworld, or evade fatal blows by shifting dimensions.
Corrupted Legends Await
Face bosses twisted by malevolent soul energy—fallen lords, once-noble knights, primordial demons, and entities lurking in the dimensional void.
Sanctuary at the Edge of Realms
At the borderland camp between worlds, gather spectral allies, forge weapons tainted with demonic blood, stockpile resources, and piece together the truth behind calamity through fragmented dialogues. Will you redeem your comrades’ souls or remain stuck between life and death?
“The Torch’s light reveals no path to salvation, only the shadow of a gamble: as spectral forces tear through demonic throats, the wielder’s name may yet become another epitaph on the Covenant Stone.”
