Surviving the horde in Relic Dudes
Relic Dudes is a top-down action roguelike where you cut through waves of enemies, leaning into bullet hell chaos with a 1980s vampire flavor. Runs are built around perma death, so each attempt starts fresh and pushes you to assemble a build that can carry you further. Along the way you pick up relics and passive upgrades, then push through multiple stages and bosses while chasing a better score.
Playing with your group
You can go it alone or jump into online co-op with up to 4 players. The core loop stays the same together: gather relics, get stronger, and shape a build that plays well with the rest of the team. The game also leaves room to mess with your friends, so a run can turn into cooperation, friendly interference, or a mix of both depending on how your group plays.
What to know before starting
There are more than 30 unique relics and 10 passive upgrades to build around, plus unlockable characters to work toward. Stages and bosses vary across runs, and the score attack angle rewards pushing deep and playing efficiently. Relic Dudes is in Early Access, so expect the game to still be in development as you play.
