Lioncode Games has unveiled its upcoming roguelite RPG: Wildkeepers Rising. The game combines the ever-growing power curve of a survivor-like with the compulsive fun of a creature collector. See it’s frenetic bullet-heaven gameplay in the colourful reveal trailer below.
What if you took Vampire Survivors and threw in some Pokémon?
Wildkeepers Rising offers snowballing power curves and satisfying monster synergies. As your Guardians grow stronger on a buffet of outlandish mobs at the heart of the breakout survivor-like/bullet heaven subgenre. Wildkeepers Rising sees the introduction of RPG elements to the genre, with charming creatures, storytelling, and art inspired by the great Akira Toriyama, Hayao Miyazaki, and Jim Henson.
“We’ve seen survivor games adopt some twists since the original recipe, integrating mining, guns, and god boons; Wildkeepers further innovates by adding adorable creature collecting and party synergy to the dopamine rush and replayability of games like Vampire Survivors or Death Must Die” – Sergio Garces, Lioncode Games Director.
“I’m combining cues and inspiration from my favorite anime and fantasy titles to make these monsters as fun and whimsical as I can. Classic arcade beat-em-ups are hugely influential on our character roster as well–we’re a small team, so we’re working hard to create a love letter to our influences that inspired us to want to create.” – Lyle Moore, Art Director.
