Canadian studio Lioncode Games has announced Wildkeepers Rising, a survivor-like roguelite action game coming to PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
“We’ve seen survivor games adopt some twists since the original recipe, integrating mining, guns, and god boons; Wildkeepers further innovates by adding adorable creature collecting and party synergy to the dopamine rush and replayability of games like Vampire Survivors or Death Must Die,” Lioncode Games director Sergio Garces said in a press release.
Art director Lyle Moore added, “I’m combining cues and inspiration from my favorite anime and fantasy titles to make these monsters as fun and whimsical as I can. Classic arcade beat-em-ups are hugely influential on our character roster as well—we’re a small team, so we’re working hard to create a love letter to our influences that inspired us to want to create.”
