BlitzKeep Unleashed

BlitzKeep Unleashed is a sequel to BlitzKeep, combining billiards or pinball with an RPG. You aim your hero at a target, then they keep moving until they reach a safe zone or die. Pick up gear to increase your power and defeat weaker enemies to level up before taking on stronger foes and massive bosses. Deaths are frequent, but you can quickly start another attempt.

The story

The Island was once home to ten noble houses, each ruling a Fiefdom. They lived in harmony across two Realms divided by a great chasm: the South was known for its warriors, while the North used arcane arts. The Askar Bridge connected the Realms, carrying goods, services and ideas between them.

A dispute between the Realms led the North’s champion, the Blitz Mage, to attack the South. The South’s champion, the Old Codger, fought back, but the Blitz Mage seized all 10 pieces of the powerful magical artifact called the Conductrex. With it, he cast darkness over the land and transformed its people into mindless monsters.

The Old Codger fought through the monsters to confront the Blitz Mage, but lost. Gravely wounded, he broke the Conductrex apart again, scattering its pieces across The Island, then escaped by ship. He later fathered a line of heroes, including you, your siblings and your cousins. His spirit remains bound to the ship, where he advises you and trains you to fight. Now your family returns to The Island to defeat the Blitz Mage.

The Fiefdoms

You travel through the Fiefdoms, clearing multiple levels in each. Every Fief has a miniboss and ends with a Lord transformed into a huge boss monster. Defeating the boss gives you a piece of the Conductrex and lets you move on. The listed lands and their rulers are:

• Puddland: Home of the Crustacean Commander.
• Archeologia: Domain of the Granite Gurkhan.
• Spookane: Realm of the Ectoplasmic Emperor.
• Amphibia: Land of the Toadlike Tsar.
• Impopolis: Kingdom of the Malicious Maharaja.
• The Abyss: A cursed level that never ends until you die.
• Askar Bridge: Pass of the Owlish Overlord.
• Verdantopia: Garden of the Demonic Duke.
• Mausolia: Crypt of the Skeletal Sovereign.
• The Blitz Keep: Palace of the Blitz Mage.

These include more than 15 unique classes with different strengths and weaknesses, six permanent ability upgrades that make future runs easier, and five unlockable, upgradeable spell scrolls for attacking enemies.
