Corpse Keeper

Corpse Keeper is an action RPG in which you lead a squad of three corpses through a dark medieval world. Explore within a limited time, gather resources and equipment, and build an army of the living dead from the flesh and bones of defeated enemies. Your goal is to reach the depths of a cathedral and kill the demon lurking there to hunt its soul.

Combat

Battles combine sword fighting with dashing skills and other powerful abilities. You can parry, dodge or roll to respond to different attacks. Observe your opponents, master your skills in combat and face increasingly stronger enemies. Dozens of playable characters each have numerous attack actions.

Manage your corpses

Every exploration increases a corpse’s decay. At 100% decay, the dead warrior collapses, and decay cannot be reversed; preservatives can only reduce its increase. You must consider your team selection before each run, since warriors will be lost to decay. In turn, you can create new corpses from the flesh and bones of defeated enemies, so progressing means adapting your roster rather than relying on the same team each time.

Resources and equipment

Resources are essential for exploration, but you cannot acquire everything, so you must decide what is most urgent. Equipment boosts attributes and grants warriors powerful specialties. Choosing how to use those specialties involves your lineup, enemy attributes, the area and other factors; specialties can also affect the items and facilities you use.

Explore the areas

The game has seven distinctive areas set in a solemn, dark medieval fantasy landscape. Along the way, you encounter enemies and facilities that can help you but may also come at a cost. Interacting in the wrong circumstances can backfire.
