Karnage Chronicles

You play as a Murkwraith, an undying knight bound to eternal service, on a journey through dark dungeons as a cosmic rift approaches. Explore monster-filled areas with traps, puzzles, treasure, and bosses. Choose a warrior or archer and fight with weapons such as swords, shields, bows, and crossbows. Swing speed affects damage; you can block or parry attacks and physically dodge incoming arrows and magic using room-scale movement. Find coins, valuables, and random equipment, then sell items or spend coins at shops on gear and consumables. Store items in a shared stash, and play solo or in drop-in/drop-out co-op for up to four players, with enemy numbers and strength adjusting to the party.

As an immortal knight cursed to serve, fight through monster-filled dungeons in VR with swords, bows, loot, and co-op.

From the Devs

Every five thousand years the planets align and create a rift in the fabric of cosmos. It’s prior to such an event that this story unfolds. Play as a Murkwraith, an undying knight barred from Death’s domain, and cursed to eternal servitude for sins committed eons ago. Experience a rich story that takes you on a perilous journey through dark dungeons filled with monsters, traps, puzzles, treasure and more.

Play alone or together with friends. Karnage Chronicles supports 1-4 players, with auto-scaling of monster strength and number of spawns as people come and go. Full drop-in / drop-out support allows you to play and have fun while waiting for friends or randoms to join your game, even allowing you to change party size on the fly.

Karnage Chronicles is an action RPG designed from ground up to fully immerse you in the magic of VR.
Choose between several types of locomotion by accessing settings in-game.
Take full advantage of an inventory system made specifically for VR.
Unparalleled anti-wiggle system for close quarter combat. In this game you cannot tickle your enemies to death as the velocity of your swing defines the damage you do to your enemies.
Customizable weapon presets allow for quick switching between weapons in combat, and there are quick slots for easy access to consumables like potions and food.
Parry incoming attacks with your weapon or block them with a shield. Take full advantage of room-scale VR to dodge and sidestep arrows or magic hurled at you from afar. There are no random hit chances, all is player skill based, same goes for avoiding enemy attacks.

Random loot and hidden treasure await. Collect coins, mine precious metals, find trash items to sell or random gear to wear. Visit new shops as you progress through the game where you can spend your hard-earned coins on new gear and consumables.
Place items for safekeeping in your Private Stash and share these between all your characters. Your private stash is even accessible after joining other multiplayer sessions.
Play as an archer or warrior.

Go forth and claim your place among the heroes of legend, Murkwraith.

IMPORTANT GAME INFORMATION

Multiplayer is not cross-platform only cross-hardware. You cannot play together with players who play through the Oculus Store. If you want to play with a friend who has an Oculus this person must be playing through Steam.
