## What is Deathbat?

From the minds of Avenged Sevenfold comes Hail to the King: Deathbat, a 3rd person, overhead dungeon crawler action RPG in the vein of The Legend of Zelda, Gauntlet Legends, and Diablo. 

The game’s story is based on the mythical origin of the Deathbat, Avenged Sevenfold’s logo and mascot. The game’s design is not for the faint of heart as players will need to traverse massive levels, combat skillful undead, and best unforgiving bosses. The epic story follows Andronikos, the resurrected King of the Underworld and the embodiment of the Deathbat, who is tasked with reclaiming the lands of Haides from the despotic Dark Andronikos. Along the way you’ll mix and match brutal melee combat with projectile magic attacks battling through beautifully designed and hellish landscapes inspired by the band’s iconic discography and artwork. Interact with characters along the way to solve puzzles and unlock the mysteries of Moros Island. 

Hail to the King: Deathbat features classic Avenged Sevenfold tracks along with a new and original score, composed by the band in the immortal tradition of 8-bit masterpieces like Castlevania.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2025-05-02, version 1.11.36*

Awesome little game, doesn’t require WiFi- fun to play. I wish you could toggle the audio instead of having no choice, to choose music over SFX, or vice versa, and that is my only complaint. PS: The creators and developers should make a sequel, Dark Andronikos promised to return and the game is too good to have only 7 levels. Also, bring it to PlayStation!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-09-12, version 1.11.36*

I’ve been an A7X fan since middle school (27 now), and upon looking at their discography on Spotify I found out they had a video game from the soundtrack. I thought that was so cool so decided to download it. If your a longtime avenged sevenfold fan you’ll probably like the game. Cool vibes and coming close to October. Challenging game too which makes it satisfying.
