Explore.
Delve into a procedurally generated dungeon at the heart of a beautiful hand-drawn world. Classic Metroidvania elements such as backtracking, secrets and unlocking new abilities that open new regions are at the core of the exploration experience.
Fight.
Confront hordes of dynamically spawned eldritch monsters. Put your skills and reflexes to the test through furious melee combat and epic boss fights against uniquely designed enemies. All monster spawns are dynamic, constantly keeping you on your toes.
Die.
Designed as a challenging adventure for seasoned gamers, frequent deaths are part of the Sundered experience. But taking our inspiration from our favorite rogue-like games, death in Sundered is only the beginning.

Niche Gamer
Ryan Pearson8 / 10"Sundered: Eldritch Edition was a delight to play. Aside from a rocky start and combat sometimes being dull, both the combat and Sundered itself gets better the more you play. "

I've had this game on my wishlist for a while and had to pick it up when I saw the Fanatical deal. I'm about 8 hours in and have had a lot of fun so far. The art and setting are great and I feel the progression as time goes on. It doesn't seem too too long, but that means it doesn't overstay its welcome. I have 2 out of 3 sections cleared and there may be a final boss after that? I'm planning a second playthrough since there are choices you can make that alter your skills.
I definitely recommend picking this one up. I actually got a second copy for a friend because I liked it so much and thought they would too.
