Death's Gambit

Death's Gambit is a 2D action platformer RPG set in Siradon, where the promise of immortality lies at the heart of the realm. As Death's right hand, you challenge its undying guardians and seek to purge their souls. You play as Sorun, whose choices shape the story's finale, as you explore a mysterious, unforgiving world and uncover the price of immortality.

Explore Siradon

Travel across a world spanning more than 20 rendered levels, exploring them and facing bosses in a non-linear order. Movement and combat upgrades open up new routes, while side areas hold further secrets and enemies. Along the way, you meet characters from different walks of life and uncover their secrets.

Combat and character builds

Master precise combat with more than 30 weapons, including bows, scythes, longswords and halberds. Abilities and upgrades let you customize how you wield them. Choose from 7 playable classes, select from more than 100 skill-tree talents and combine classes to shape your combat style. You can also scavenge, hunt and dismantle items found throughout the world to craft useful equipment.

Bosses and challenges

Hunt 20 towering monsters and legendary creatures, each requiring its own strategy. After you defeat a boss, you can challenge it immediately in Heroic Mode, where it returns with new abilities at a much higher difficulty.

Afterlife content

Death's Gambit: Afterlife is an expanded edition of the original game. It adds 10 levels, over 30 weapons, 5 bosses and mechanical overhauls, alongside other new content. The game also includes alternate endings determined by your goals and key decisions, and New Game+, which unlocks after completing Afterlife. New Game+ is arranged in brackets of three, letting you set the difficulty and replay Sorun's journey with new enemy variants and modifiers.
