Xecryst Remains

Xecryst Remains is an objective-based, party-based third-person action RPG in which you play as a mercenary investigating a cataclysm caused by imbalances in the Abstract. This world is governed by Xecrystal energy, the source of its economy, technology, magic and functioning. You fight through randomized stages built from handcrafted regions.

Story and arcade modes

Story and Arcade modes share permanent progression. You can play alone with player-like AI companions or form a party of up to seven players.

Combat and progression

Combat combines freeform melee with different wield styles, leveled projectile-based ranged attacks and abilities with a unique targeting mechanic. You customize your character without a fixed class, unlocking abilities and perks, and upgrade tier-based equipment. Exploration, combat and progress are shaped by a time-scaling difficulty system.

Regions and anomalies

The game has five handcrafted regions, with procedural randomization of objects and routes. Unique anomalies can affect gameplay, alongside changing time cycles and weather. A time-saving feature reduces many of the usual interruptions to action RPG play, supporting both short and long sessions.
