In the abyss where the mortal realm and netherworld intertwine, become a warrior wielding the power of the Nether Lantern to fight along with the fallen souls. With hardcore, soulslike action and intriguing roguelike builds, shatter the cursed barriers and unveil the truth woven from blood and soul.
Netherworld Covenant is a dark fantasy 3D isometric action roguelike centered on precision combat and Soul Companion powers to deliver a hardcore, strategically rich experience. Control the survivor of a catastrophic disaster, wielding the Nether Lantern—a forbidden artifact bridging the mortal realm and the netherworld—to forge pacts with the souls of deceased allies. Venture into procedurally generated labyrinths to challenge corrupted heroes and demonic lords.

The highlights of Official 1.0 Version comparing to the Early Access include:

Combat prioritizes tactical mastery over frenetic combos. Parry, dodge, and execute Ethereal Dash to evade attacks, then counter with lethal strikes. Every decision—timing, resource allocation, and positioning—deepens the strategic depth of encounters.

The Soul Companion system offers diverse combat strategies, featuring four distinct spectral allies: Swordsman, Ranger, Guardian, and Rogue. Harness their abilities to phase through obstacles, ambush foes from the netherworld, or evade fatal blows by shifting dimensions.

Face bosses twisted by malevolent soul energy—fallen lords, once-noble knights, primordial demons, and entities lurking in the dimensional void.

At the borderland camp between worlds, gather spectral allies, forge weapons tainted with demonic blood, stockpile resources, and piece together the truth behind calamity through fragmented dialogues. Will you redeem your comrades’ souls or remain stuck between life and death?

“The Torch’s light reveals no path to salvation, only the shadow of a gamble: as spectral forces tear through demonic throats, the wielder’s name may yet become another epitaph on the Covenant Stone.”
