Abhorrent Light

Abhorrent Light is a dark medieval hack-and-slash game with a non-linear, persistent world, dynamic scaling and loot. You play as a bounty hunter hired to protect a village from destruction. Explore its environments and mysterious locations, discover the source of the monsters plaguing it, and defeat them before it is too late.

Explore the village

The world has dynamic enemy placement and randomized loot. You can face the three main bosses and visit their locations in any order, discovering the advantages and disadvantages of each route. As you explore, seek out tools to help against your enemies and uncover the secrets of the once-peaceful village.

Fight and equip yourself

Melee combat centres on blocking, dodging, parrying and slashing. A torch is essential as you descend into darkness; you can light sconces to illuminate the environment and may find other tools. Weapons have different stats, and slower weapons generally deal more damage per attack.

Defeat monsters and sell weapons to earn gold, which you can use to buy weapons or upgrade the ones you have. You can also find weapons and decide whether their stats make them worth keeping or selling.

Play solo or in co-op

The game is designed with co-op in mind and can be played solo or with friends as you hunt those that abhor the light.
