Fight hordes of monsters in a fast-paced coop FPS roguelike set in purgatory. Players tackle randomized daily objectives to weaken demons, scavenge loot for temporary bullet enhancements, and level up characters before racing back to defend Shadwell. Fail to complete objectives, and invading creatures gain power; upgrade orbs with modules for automated defenses or build walls to hold them off.
