Gameplay
Story

Netherworld Covenant is an action RPG, enriched with mechanics borrowed from the roguelike genre and heavily inspired by soulslike type productions. The game was developed by the independent team MadGoat Game Studio, which has a significantly smaller project Lucky Mayor in its portfolio.

Gameplay

In Netherworld Covenant we watch the action in an isometric view.

Allies from the underworld

During the game, we take on the role of a character holding the so-called Nether Lantern. It is a forbidden artifact serving as a bridge between the worlds of the living and the dead. Thanks to it, we can establish contact with the souls of fallen warriors and momentarily give them the opportunity to return to their physical forms to support us on the battlefield.

Individual allies were differentiated in terms of armament, skills and fighting style. The archer eliminates enemies from a distance, the knight fights in close combat and swings his powerful sword, the rogue makes use of a pair of daggers, and the Shieldguard can protect us from attacks.

Fighting opponents

Clashes with enemies, which are the salt of the game, take place in real time. We have to be constantly moving and efficiently perform dodges and counterattacks, but more than agility and reflexes, tactical sense and perceptiveness matter here. Each enemy has strengths and weaknesses. Detecting them in advance and using them against our enemies can save our lives. This is especially important during duels with bosses, which we regularly have to face.

Campsite

Adventure leads us through procedurally generated locations. Our safe haven and base of operations is a camp located on the border of the netherworld. We can forge new weapons here, stock up on useful items, have conversations with NPCs, or unlock new allies.

Story

In Netherworld Covenant we enter a dark fantasy world, specifically - we go to the abyss, a place on the border of the mortal world and the afterlife. During the game, we play as a warrior wielding a lantern that allows him to momentarily resurrect fallen allies.
