About Gods, Death, & Reapers

Gods, Death & Reapers is an isometric dark fantasy ExtrAction RPG, a new sub-genre that blends high-stakes, PvP extraction gameplay with traditional PvE encounters, where players risk it all in ARPG-style, real-time combat. Guided by Death through realms inspired by various global mythologies, players take on objectives, confront dangerous enemies or rival Reapers, and attempt to escape with valuable loot. Each mission begins in the Sanctuary, a customizable base for upgrades and planning, and every run hinges on the same core choice: extract with rewards or fall and lose it all.

As reapers, players will traverse lands filled with unfathomable dangers and precious secrets. Players can customize their own reapers before descending into Death's domain and join factions that offer them new challenges to conquer (and souls to reap). Once in the underworld, they can unleash devastating techniques by experimenting with weapon abilities and ultimate skills — refining their playstyles through deeper skill customization and combat variety. A trip to the Sanctuary also blesses them with the ability to craft gear and manage resources before the next descent.

Gods, Death & Reapers is coming to Windows PC via Steam Early Access. Players can wishlist the game on Steam. Anyone who joined earlier playtests retains access to all future Closed Alpha builds.
