I've been looking forward to this game for a while now, and it does not disappoint! The art is beautiful and colorful, the soundtrack is great, and the characters and their stories are so fun. (My favorite so far is the very fancy frog who lost his hat.) I can't wait to play through the rest!

About This Game
Embark on an adventure as a new Reaper who has gone rogue! Collect equipment and spells, learn powerful attacks against hordes of enemies, complete quests for a cast of quirky characters, and make difficult choices in this grim yet richly illustrated 2D world. Play alone or with a friend in local co-op and serve Death together!

Over 40 pieces of Equipment for you to acquire to customize your Reaper and aid you in battle! Find equipment in a variety of well hidden chests, or use the souls you collect as currency to buy items from the local vender, Fiona. Be sure to check back every day, as her inventory changes! Mix and match armor and harness the power of the unique skills such as fireballs, the ability to freeze enemies, angel wings allowing you to glide to safety, summon meteors from the sky and even stampeding unicorns!

Join forces with a friend locally. While in local play, Player 2 plays as Spaura, the Reaper’s Soul Bearer. Online co op will be coming soon in the next months where each player can play as their customized Reaper.

Battle your way through 30 beautifully designed levels, help colorful characters through various side quests, and fulfil your reaper duties by collecting souls for Death. Daily bounties are available from various npc's.

Collect equipment, learn spells, and advance as a Reaper to take on horrid enemies, and defeat epic bosses.

I started playing this with my son and hes enjoying it a ton! It reminds me of the same play style as Mega-Man. Theres item progression where you get to choose what to upgrade. The art work and style is very nice. I feel this game is a steal at its current price!
A very pretty beat 'em up. No complicated parries or defense, just some simple combos and simple platforming. It knows what it is, and it doesn't try to be more. And what it is, is fun, so here's a thumbs up from me.
So far a really fun game ( especially considering the price ). If there is one thing that might bother people is the bright colors, and flashing screens. But still, thank you Arcade Distillery for the fun game can't wait to finish it.
Fun game with a nice soundtrack and imaginative characters, love it!
So far I'm really loving the style of the game! A sidescrolling metroidvania gameplay with the artstyle that reminds me of a mix between shovelknight and a Tim Burton fever dream! The colors really help it to stand out from other platformers and give it a unique personality. It really makes me want to keep playing and see what new designs and methods this game has to offer. The controls took me a minute to get down but the game trickles down the mechanics to you so you can help customize how you want to play the further you get into the gameplay. Definitely would suggest giving it a shot especially given the price!
The game is so much fun! AMAZING job by the devs, check it out you won't regret it!
Seem like a great game, just wished it was playable. The mouse attack only seemed to work when it wanted to. None of the special moves worked. Very frustrating to say the least.
The art in this game is so cool and the game play is a blast! So glad I took a chance on this game. Never seen a game with such unique art.
Gorgeous game, but the control feels awkward to me. Incredibly inexpensive, perhaps charge more and hire an additional developer or two?
