Briarwake

The path ahead is narrow. The forest is not letting you through quietly. Briarwake is a single-player action roguelike set in a hand-drawn woodland. Fight through creatures on winding routes, reach the next room before time runs out, then face the guardian waiting inside. KEEP MOVING Eight timed routes lead into eight guardian rooms. On the path, every second matters. Inside each room, the clock gives way to a different test: read the attacks, find your opening and clear the surviving enemies. Beyond them lies the final clearing. MAKE THE RUN YOUR OWN Choose from five distinct weapons, each with four ranks. Earn experience in combat, choose upgrades at rest and collect items that take effect in the next stage. With 28 starting perks and 57 items, each run can take a different shape. LEARN THE FIGHT. GO FURTHER. Seven difficulty levels change the encounters you face. Pursue 90 achievements or choose Endless and push your build further. Safe-rest checkpoints let you continue a journey between fights. Play with keyboard, controller or touch. Choose from nine interface languages in Settings.
