DERANGED FUN IN A DERANGED WORLD

Degenheim is an action-packed, top-down, isometric roguelike set in a world gone absolutely mad. Absolutely unhinged story, characters, environments, enemies, everything.

Jump in, slice your way through the enemies, beat up bosses and progress further. Got your ass kicked on the way? No problem, upgrade yourself via metaprogression and jump in again.

Inspired by titans of the genre who brought us many hours of fun (and pain) and made us fall in love with the genre.

Wanna play alone? Cool. Wanna play with your friends? Even cooler.

Easy to learn, hard to master. We’ve designed combat, movement and core gameplay mechanics in a way that the learning curve is almost non-existent, with a very short and smooth onboarding experience.

Move around with WSAD and use one of your abilities, PRIMARY, SPECIAL or ULTIMATE. Every character has a DASH with invincibility frames to be either used to chase down enemies or avoid damage.

You can of course re-map your controls as you’d like, with full controller support on its way.

Use what you got to clean up the floor with your enemies and move further in the game.
Every time you whoop everyone’s ass in a stage, you get some sweet upgrades, provided to you at random, because duh, roguelike.

You can get up to 5 active and 5 passive abilities to forge your build for the run. All abilities are upgradeable, providing you with a bigger power spike with each upgrade.

Make sure to try out a wide variety from our 100+ abilities to find the perfect overpowered build for your character and playstyle.

We’ve put a ton of time into balancing (and we’re doing so constantly to this day), so there are almost no shitty abilities and most of them are very viable.
Having trouble beating up your adversaries? No worries, we gotchu fam. Inbetween runs, you get to explore the Player Hub, a place with many means of metaprogression to make your life easier.

Visit and engage with various NPCs and POIs to upgrade yourself, your items, fuse them together, basically do whatever it takes to make you strong enough to plow through enemies like it’s nothing. Remember to work it, make it, do it, makes you harder, faster, better stronger.
There’s so much more to explore in the game. Playable characters, items, talents, idle rewards, collectibles, bosses, minibosses, environments... The list goes on and on and on, but we think the best way is to experience it yourself.

The game’s still in Early Access and we plan on adding so much more to it in time. More means of progression and metaprogression, special events, more variety to gameplay, new experiences... Will there be bugs and inconveniences? Yes. But we usually tend to them very quickly, to provide you the best experience possible.
how it works

working our asses off to bring you more fun

We’re not trying to create some cheap, half-baked, spin-off copy, neither tryharding by reinventing the wheel for the sake of reinventing the wheel.

We seek to utilize all concepts we and the gamers have been loving for years, especially in the roguelike genre, but just going ham on the unhinged fun part. We want to make this your next 1000 hours game. We’ve put our hearts and souls into our game which has been in active development since summer 2021.

we’ve worked on games before

Life-long gamers, worked on and helped many games for well over a decade in the past and finally decided to make one which is fully our own.

Small indie studio? Yes. Inexperienced? Hell no.

While almost all of us worked in gaming, some of us also worked in start-ups, government services, e-commerce, real estate, automotive. But wherever we were individually in the past, it has always drawn us back to what we love - games.
