About

Fight together. Die together. Repeat.

On an extraterrestrial world teeming with a hidden reservoir of potent magic, you and your companion have made an emergency landing. The fabric of existence is at risk, and two mystical beings have selected you as their champions. To preserve the planet, you’ll engage in combat, sacrifice yourselves, and forge connections with the Stormhearts, rising anew-reinvigorated, tenacious, and unyielding.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “I’m diving headfirst into Storm Lancers, a high-speed roguelike game, perfect for some couch co-op fun! Every run means dodging danger, vanquishing foes, and mastering deadly skills. It’s survival of the fittest, so let’s join forces to conquer this battlefield!

Key Features

  • Anime Action – On Cryptica, no two runs are the same. In this side-scrolling roguelike, you’ll navigate shifting biomes where every leap, slash, and dash brings you one step closer to unraveling the mystery. With each playthrough, discover new items that make that run’s playstyle unique and gain permanent upgrades that make you stronger.
  • Seamless Couch Cooperative Play – Roguelike action, specifically built for two. Explore Cyptica’s alien world and prepare for battle, side by side with a friend, using your combined abilities, weapons, and powerups. If your partner has to leave, no worries. Storm Lancers lets you seamlessly switch from cooperative play to solo, so you stay in the action.
  • Bosses and Enemies – From a machine race that consumes planets to alien flora and fauna that want to kill everything, fight through bosses and enemies who will force you to think faster, fight harder, and adapt quickly. This is an ever-changing battlefield where killer instincts and survival skills are everything.
  • Weapons and Abilities – Arm yourself with a variety of weapons built for every kind of playstyle and run. From flaming swords and razor-sharp Katars to Rifles, crushing Hammers, and Grenade Launchers, each weapon is designed for destruction. Choose wisely—or die quickly.
