A Witch-Hunter's Guild in Amvros
Crimson Capes is a 2D pixel art action RPG set in a dark fantasy world of sword and sorcery. You take on the role of Milon the Tempest, the Left Hand of the King and leader of the Crimson Capes, a guild of witch-hunters. Your mission is to dismantle a conspiracy of wizards while uncovering sinister powers at play. The game features nonlinear exploration, allowing you to raid ruins, magic towers, caverns, and forests in any order you choose.
Fighting Together Online
The game supports online co-op, letting you join forces with other Capes to hunt down witches and monsters. The multiplayer is asymmetrical, meaning players can take on different roles during a session. Beyond cooperative play, you can invade another player's hunt as a Deathblade, shifting the dynamic from teamwork to confrontation. The game also features online PvP for direct competition.
Combat and Progression
Combat is built around fluid swordplay with moves and guards based on realistic fighting techniques. You can perform feints, thrusts, cuts, and spinning moves to break an enemy's defense and land a fatal hit. Each hero has a unique fighting style and skill tree, and you can switch between heroes at any time. Alongside physical attacks, each hero has magical abilities to complement their style, such as commanding thunder, raising flames, or calling upon darkness. As you gain experience, you can expand both your physical and magical skills. Expect a violent experience with gore, including finishing blows and decapitations.
