DARK CHAMPIONS

Core Mechanic

YOUR
BURDEN

A beacon of power.
A countdown to ruin.

The Prophecy you carry is volatile, radiant, and alive. The moment you hold it, your build ignites. But every elite on the battlefield is onto you.
Courage will be your only defence. Watch yourself lose it.

⚔ THE HUNT

You are a beacon in the dark. Elite enemies will bypass your squad entirely to hunt the Carrier. Their sole purpose: tackle you, sever your connection, and claim the Prophecy's power for the horde.

↗ THE PASS

Before your Bravery breaks, you must get the Prophecy to a teammate. A clean pass keeps the party healthy. Anything else invites chaos.

☽ THE OMEN

If a Prophecy's grim prediction comes to pass, the battlefield shifts violently - which will test exactly how much your squad has left.

⚡ EMPOWERMENT & DECAY

Carrying the Prophecy supercharges your build and inspires allies around you. But power demands a toll - your Bravery drains with every second you hold it. When it runs dry, you are exposed.

BRAVERY

Drains Every Second You Hold It

EMPOWERMENT

Active While Your Courage Holds Strong

Light up the world.
Hope your team is watching."

Development Log

BEHIND
THE BURDEN

Building a 4-player Action RPG alone is its own kind of burden. Building it alone is ironic, I know.
