Critadel

Critadel is a hardcore action game set in Babel, a giant mechanical tower seized by the evil Order of Noah. You run, jump and blast your way through its branching paths and secret chambers, fighting the faction’s futuristic minions. At the top lies ancient knowledge that can grant eternal life, and you race to reach it first.

Characters and combat

You can play as one of three characters: Nox, a fearless fighter; Ahnushu, a mysterious cultist; or Alice, a combat android. Each has unique starting weapons and items, upgradeable abilities and unlockable costumes. A 360° aiming cursor lets you attack in any direction, and a dodge roll provides limited invincibility to help you avoid attacks.

Weapons and upgrades

You can buy powerful weapons or find them at random in the tower. Collectible artifacts provide passive bonuses when equipped, while crystals found throughout the tower and orbs earned by defeating bosses serve as the two types of in-game currency. The game offers a wide range of weapon and item configurations, and its branching paths are continuously reconfigured, making each run different.

Game modes

Critadel has two difficulty modes and a Boss Rush mode for replaying boss battles. Its graphics are inspired by GBA games, and it features a techno soundtrack.
