In the Moonlit Kingdom, rabbit-eared adventurers set out to investigate a mysterious tower and confront the kingdom’s hostile inhabitants. Runs take you through stages of enemy encounters and bosses; a single-player story unfolds through conversations with enemies.
Combat combines class-based skills with raid-style boss mechanics. Read attack cues, position carefully, dodge hazards, and handle mechanics that may require players to coordinate. Runs support one to four players, and encounters change between solo and multiplayer.
Between fights, choose loot and upgrades to shape your build and adjust your skills. Randomized choices can create different combinations from run to run. Difficulty options, unlockable classes, items, and other rewards provide further goals as you learn boss patterns and refine your play.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the game’s raid-inspired boss encounters, especially learning attack patterns and coordinating movement with friends. They also praise the class and loot combinations for giving runs variety, and frequently mention the cute character art and music. Some find repeated attempts and mastering harder difficulties rewarding, while others criticize steep difficulty jumps, loot randomness, or hard-to-read attack cues.
RABBIT & STEEL is a co-op action "raiding" roguelike focused around fighting challenging bosses alongside your rabbit-eared friends. Fight foes, gather loot, build your character, and work together to overcome obstacles on your way to the Moonlit Pinnacle.
Combat is deliberately similar to tab-target MMORPGs, being based around global cooldowns, effective skill usage, gear effects, and resolving boss mechanics through teamwork.
This isn't an MMO, though; it's a roguelike!
Start a run, pick a class, invite friends to your lobby and you're raiding in seconds. Anywhere from 1 to 4 rabbits can embark together. If you venture out alone, mechanics that normally require cooperation will be replaced with intense bullet hell attacks.
Of course, it isn't always as simple as slapping down the enemies that stand in your way. Building your character with loot and upgrades you find along the way is key to success. Certain sets of items combo very well together... so make sure your allies don't roll on something you really need!
A few months ago, all contact with the Moonlit Kingdom was lost.
Reports indicate that the city's denizens attack outsiders on sight.
Investigative expeditions are repelled or go missing.
A colossal white tower now manifests in the city's center each night, stretching skyward towards the stars.
Something must be done. The rabbits will take care of this.
The night is short. Move swiftly.
Up to 4 players can play together locally, online, or a mix of the two
A plethora of bosses, stages, and challenging bullet-hell patterns to conquer
A single player story campaign where you chat up your enemies to uncover the mystery of the Moonlit Kingdom
Over 100 random loot items to power up your character
You can kill your friend by clipping them with a "spread" marker for laughs
Honestly they deserve it for rolling on the Darkstorm Knife even though they don't need it and it's SO good for your class
