About this game
R.I.S.E is a cyberpunk action roguelike with intense combat, a focus on strategy, and endless progression. As a gladiator clone you must compete in the ETERNAL CONFLICT, a cycle of dystopian combat and bloodshed for the sake of humanity’s twisted entertainment and sponsored by Mega-Corporations across the galaxy.
FIGHT through a run. DIE after surviving for as long as possible. RESPAWN and change your loadout. REPEAT through the never-ending cycle of the ETENERAL CONFLICT.
Take on the arena by yourself, or team-up with friends in Co-Op mode.
DASH, SLASH, AND ASCEND
Engage in fluid, fast-paced battles that demand precision and strategy. Every floor of the tower arena has a new challenge. As you ascend, you will face swarms of foes and tough bosses who turn combat into bullet hell challenges. Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled journey through endless enemy waves, all for the amusement of the crowd.
YOUR EVERLASTING ARSENAL
Select from deep talent trees that allow for personalized skill progressions and character builds. Choose from a selection of different classes, each offering unique gameplay and tactical advantages. A melee gladiator cuts through foes with a katana, and a ranged gladiator uses guns to strike from afar. Test out endless combinations of weapons and skills as the perpetual arena fighting goes on.
THE ENDLESS CYCLE
Face an infinite number of enemy waves, level up during your ascent, and use your temporary death to grow stronger through persistent upgrades. With multiple classes, procedurally generated towers, and tons of enemies to face, there are endless new ways to play in an arena where the fighting never ends.
Other Features
UNBREAKABLE WEAPONS: Every class can earn new, unique weapons and armor which augments their playstyle.
SURVIVE TOGETHER: Take on challenge of the arena together with your friends in co-op Mode.
EVERY FLOOR IS A NEW CHALLENGE: Procedurally generated floors allow for endless new surprises and challenges that will always keep you guessing.
UPGRADE YOUR SKILLS: During a run when you level up, you can choose to power up your skills to further define your playstyle. Upgrading a weapon’s attack speed can have you slicing through hordes of enemies or upgrading their range can mean one swipe taking out groups of mobs all at once.
