Break the Empire

Break the Empire is a fast-paced, tactical action roguelite in which you play as the villain. You can storm castles with hordes of undead, turn the Empire against itself or smash through it with brute force.

Playthroughs and paths

Each playthrough is a mini-campaign that begins in a small village and ends in the halls of the emperor’s castle. The route varies, taking you through places such as magical glades, towns, fortresses and dwarven mines. You can also play Last Stand, a mode where you survive for as long as possible against relentless attacks.

Characters and skills

Choose from 8 playable characters, each with a different set of abilities. Every character has six unique spells and six unique passive skills, while 12 base skills are available to everyone. Skill combinations and items with randomized qualities create a range of possible builds and playthroughs.

Combat and terrain

The game features 11 unique bosses and dozens of enemies, each with variable stats, traits and skills. Terrain affects combat: fires spread rapidly across grass, water can be frozen and characters can fall into pits.
