You play as a scion brought to life by the tree god Magnolia, tasked with confronting the gods and usurpers ruling an ancient desert. Runs lead through handcrafted environments inhabited by rival factions, enemies, and bosses, either alone or with up to three other players.
Combat is a third-person action game built around deliberate attacks, dodges, stamina management, and learning enemy patterns. Choose a class and weapon, then fight through groups of enemies and bosses as you advance across a run’s levels.
During each run, collect blood to raise attributes and acquire seeds, blessings, and relics that shape your build. Random curses add hazards or enemies, while shortcuts opened in levels persist for later runs. Completing runs unlocks higher difficulty through the Awareness system.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its challenging, Soulslike combat and the satisfaction of learning enemy patterns, along with the variety of builds that can emerge from run-specific upgrades. Co-op is a recurring favorite, and some reviews also praise the desert art, atmosphere, and music. Other players find the experience rough or uneven, with calls for more content, clearer item information, and balance improvements.

Choose your favorite weapon and fight tough enemies in heavy, tactical combat, with a plethora of different upgrade possibilities. Fight your way through handcrafted levels, and face the bosses – as many times as you need.
With support for up to 4 players, you can face the challenges of the world together with your teammates, or play at your own pace alone.
As you progress through levels, you find upgrades along the way – blessings from strange deities, gifts from your patron and strange relics to utilize in your pilgrimage. Choose wisely and explore endless builds and strategies.
The Curse system introduces random variables every run – everything from minibosses hunting you, to environmental hazards that keep new runs fresh and challenging.
The Awareness system brings even more challenges, making each successful run progressively harder.
Battle through imposing environments inhabited by different factions. The desert and ruins belong to the nomadic Majin, while the city with its cathedrals is inhabited by the proud Attar’Esh.
You are a scion – brought to life by the withering tree god Magnolia, with the sole purpose of vanquishing the opposing gods and usurpers who currently rule the lands.
There is only one way to make the desert bloom again - violence.
