SWORN Gameplay Details
SWORN offers a fresh take on the roguelike genre as a 1-4 player co-op experience where you reclaim a fallen Camelot in a dark reimagining of Arthurian legend. Players take on the role of warriors bound by an oath to cleanse the corrupted King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Combining the unique medieval theme with a roguelike gameplay loop creates a thrilling and immersive experience (similar to Hades's approach).
Staying true to its theme, players can gain powerful abilities bestowed by the Fae Lords, which the developers promise will offer thousands of build possibilities. Along the way, you'll encounter iconic figures like Merlin and Nimue, who contribute to the lore and may grant unique powers to aid your quest.
For solo players, SWORN also fully supports single-player campaigns, making it perfect for those who prefer to tackle roguelikes at their own pace.
SWORN Demo Now Available
While the official release is still a few weeks away, a demo is available now on Steam. Having played it myself, I can confidently say that if you're a fan of roguelikes like Hades, SWORN will scratch that itch.
With the February launch drawing closer, we’ll keep a close eye on SWORN. Stay tuned for more information, guides, and updates as this medieval co-op roguelike makes its debut.
