The world has been thrown into chaos, and it is up to you and your friends to venture into the Rotwood. Developed by Klei Entertainment, Rotwood is a challenging 1-4 player co-op dungeon crawler where you must hack and slash through corrupted beasts, gather resources, and build up your safe haven.
In Rotwood, players take control of stylized characters with unique weapon classes. Each weapon offers a distinct playstyle with complex combo systems that reward timing and skill. As you progress through the procedural forest, you will encounter diverse biomes, each with its own set of deadly enemies and imposing bosses. Success depends on your ability to dodge, parry, and strike with precision while coordinating with your teammates. Between runs, return to your town to craft new armor, upgrade weapons, and unlock permanent power-ups to face even greater challenges.
