Wildkeepers Rising

Tame monsters! Slay waves of enemy hordes! Explore fantasy lands! Wildkeepers Rising is a whimsical Action RPG roguelike set in a beautifully hand-drawn world that combines the power curve of bullet heaven games with the compulsive fun of a creature collector. Combining the ever-growing power curve of a survivor-like with the compulsive fun of a creature collector, Wildkeepers sees players battling frenetic hordes alongside a cast of powerful monsters. With some RPG story elements in between, you'll face hand-drawn fantasy monsters inspired by the worlds of Akira Toriyama and Jim Henson. Wildkeepers Rising innovates on the survivor formula by turning the player's arsenal into a party of fierce and adorable monsters. Catch your creatures, build up your village hub, and experience the high-stakes tale of betrayal and vengeance that threatens your Wildkeeper and their team.

  • Bullet Heaven: Shred thousands of enemies by creating synergies with different tameable Guardians.
  • Hand-Drawn Art: Inspired by the works of Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball), Jim Henson (The Dark Crystal), and Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli).
