Accessible games publisher Whitethorn Games together with developer EPHEMERA have announced their brand new title Kernel Hearts. A co-op multiplayer roguelike game like no other! Battle your way up a deadly celestial tower and use your arsenal of skills to eradicate monstrous angelic enemies and ultimately dethrone a god. All to save the world.
Magical Girl Power
If the only way to bring a world back from the edge of the apocalypse was to destroy its god, would you have the power to do it?
As a member of M.A.H.O.U Unit — an elite fighting force of super-powered android magical girls — you and up to three allies are tasked with one thing: destroy a god to save the world from the brink of extinction. Starting from the base of the mythical Tower of Babel, you’ll fight your way through an array of powerful enemies from all sides. Climb each level, gaining crucial skills and magical powers to help you surmount its pinnacle. Defeat is no excuse; only the most resolute soldiers will reach the heavenly heights in order to dethrone their god — are you up for the task?
Key Game Features:
- Ascend to the Ultimate Being of Destruction. In every run, hunt for temporary skills that enhance your attacks, spells, and movement. Conquer the relentless enemies on each floor and exterminate the fearsome boss guardians that rule each domain with devastating strikes and combos.
- The End is Just the Beginning. Facing enemies of biblical proportions requires persistence and grit, but a sudden demise isn’t the end. After each run, your unit returns to the lab. This is where you can use the rewards from previous missions to unlock and equip skill chips. Customize your unit with these chips to match your unique playstyle.
- Magical Transformations. The curse of the Tower is ever-present, and spending too much time in one area draws out even more powerful enemies. Harness the Tower’s energy to dispel the curses! Briefly transform into your ultimate magical form and unleash annihilating attacks on any foes standing in your way.
- Squad Up. Play alone or with up to three friends. Honing and synergizing your skills to become the ultimate fighting force to get you to the top.
- Friends in High Places. Each celestial domain hosts unique allies to help you on your journey. Befriend them to deepen your bond and maybe find love along the way!
Kernel Hearts will be available on PC and you can wishlist it on Steam now. Thanks to their commitment to making accessible and inclusive games, Whitethorn Games have stated the accessibility features for the game will be announced in the coming months. Which is a brilliant way to ensure players are included every step of the way.
