Daedalus

Daedalus is an action game about a lost soul facing Hades’ trial in a dark, winding dungeon. Instead of finding Charon and the River Styx, you awaken before Daedalus, with three ornate weapons: a shortbow, a labrys and a staff. Hades has created the trial to decide which souls may enter the afterlife. You must master all four elements to unlock the inner chambers, where the final test awaits.

Weapons and abilities

Choosing a weapon gives you the abilities of one of three classes: the Archer, the Guardian or the Oracle. Each weapon has dormant elemental runes, and you unlock their powers by imbuing the weapon as you travel through the Labyrinth.

Boss challenges

You defeat elemental Titans to imbue your weapon, then take on challenge bosses to upgrade your abilities. Once your build is set, you face the inner chamber’s final bosses to earn your place in the afterlife. Death sends you back to start again, while the journey offers lessons to those willing to learn.

Stats and speedrunning
