You are one of the Guardians of the Shadow World. The entire Shadow World calls upon you to prevent the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, for everything is beginning to spiral out of control.
One of the Gods of the Shadow World has stolen an ancient artifact called the "Mask of Shadows" and, with its power, has created darkness. He seeks to destroy the Shadow World, create hell, and destroy the World of Light. You, the Warriors, are the Shadow World's only hope, only you possess the power to stop the darkness and prevent the apocalypse.
RAZE is a top-down action roguelike based on randomization:
Fight off hordes of enemies in an endless battle of endurance, either solo or in co-op.
Thousands — or even hundreds of thousands of defeated enemies in a single match, taken down by all kinds of methods: from a good old shotgun to complete absurdity like dual miniguns and lasers shooting from your eyes.
Throughout the match, you upgrade not only your Shadow Cat Warrior and their ShadowGun, but also gain access to an entire arsenal of magical, melee, and firearms that will help you give the darkness a worthy fight.
A huge variety of cosmetics — because you dress your Warrior yourself during the match. Here, the game doesn’t define your style, you define it yourself.
Die and be reborn — because every match will unlock more and more new items and artifacts, all accompanied by random generation, making every run truly unique.
Don’t just play — progress. This isn’t just a single-player roguelike, but an online roguelike with a ranking system. Every match earns you rating points that determine your rank through a skill group system, and the more experience you gain, the higher your rank becomes.
The entire game is based on your movements and has extremely simple controls: walk, shoot, and dash—you only need six buttons: WASD to walk, LMB to shoot, and RMB to dash. However, simple controls don't mean easy. Quick reactions and a quick assessment of the situation are required, as the slightest mistake will send you back to the very beginning.
