Gradanix

Gradanix is a permadeath co-op action RPG roguelike in which you choose a hero, build a character and descend through an endless, ever-changing world. Enemies grow stronger the deeper you go, while powerful loot, legendary items, hidden rooms, secrets, elite enemies and bosses offer reasons to push farther. When a run ends, you lose everything collected during it, with no respawns or second chances.

Heroes and builds

Choose from seven classes, each with its own abilities and playstyle: Warrior, Paladin, Rogue, Hunter, Mage, Priest and Warlock. Experiment with classes, abilities and legendary combinations to shape your build. The game has 42 legendary items, which can interact with abilities and one another, as well as 10 hidden legendary synergies.

Legendary effects include explosive attacks, chain lightning, frost, piercing attacks, healing shields, corpse explosions, elemental effects and ability modifications.

Descend and fight

Explore hidden rooms, secret walls and areas, special encounters, shrines and altars. Discoveries are recorded in your Journal, which also tracks your Bestiary discoveries, personal records and greatest runs. You can push your luck for better rewards, but dying means losing the items gathered during that run.

A boss appears every fifth level. Bosses have distinctive mechanics, attack patterns and abilities, with increasing difficulty, boss-specific challenges and valuable rewards.

Solo and co-op

Play alone or team up with friends. In co-op, coordinate classes and abilities, share discoveries and strategies, and face increasingly dangerous enemies and bosses together. When the run ends, its losses affect everyone playing.

Challenges and leaderboards

Compete on global leaderboards for Solo, Co-op, Daily Challenge, Corruption, Highest Level and Top Guilds. Profiles can show your Steam name and avatar, character class, guild, title, depth reached, Corruption level and run results. Players who reach the top can have their names added to the Hall of Legends.

Each day’s Daily Challenge gives everyone the same dungeon, class, seed and starting conditions. Retry it to improve your best result and compete on its leaderboard.

Corruption makes a run more dangerous, with levels from 0 to 20. Higher levels add increasingly dangerous modifiers and stronger enemies, while offering greater risks and better rewards. Corruption has its own leaderboard.

Guilds and seasons

Create or join a guild, build its reputation and compete on the Top Guilds leaderboard. You can represent your guild with its tag, climb the rankings together and compete for seasonal rewards. Each season brings another chance to advance, while your history remains after the season ends.

Journal and home

Your Journal tracks accomplishments, discoveries and milestones, including 56 Steam achievements, 22 titles, legendary discoveries, hidden synergies, Bestiary discoveries, pets, cosmetics and personal records. You can also customize a home and display earned legendary items, boss trophies, pets, guild decorations, titles, achievements and other accomplishments.

Comic-book visuals

The game uses a stylized, comic-inspired visual direction, with impact effects, ink-style attacks, stylized abilities, explosive combat effects, lightning and elemental effects, and dramatic boss encounters.
