01 Crash the rift
Three rifts, then Malakor
A dark fantasy world has been torn open, and your party is the one that dives in. Every run takes you through three rifts, each with its own ground, horde and boss, and ends in the Gauntlet.
Play solo or with friends over Steam. Empty seats fill with bots, so a run can start the moment you want it to.
02 Start small. Build big.
One attack. Then everything you choose.
- Your kit, your call Spend points on your next ability and pick which of two versions you run.
- Upgrade paths Lock in a path for the run, then roll upgrades from Slate up to Diamond.
- Empower Finish a path and your points keep paying. It never stops stacking.
- Tethers The co-op layer: link beams between players, freeze and shatter, or stand in a Vanguard aura.
03 Nine heroes, all in 3D
Each has its own basic attack, abilities, ultimate and passive. Find Volt in a run and he joins your roster for good.
- Krag
- Sylva
- Zara
- Aldric
- Nyx
- Orion
- Marrow
- Null
- Volt the Stray
