Beast and Cleaver is an open-world adventure where players hunt and fight rare creatures. Master attack patterns, learn unique monster spawning mechanics, and expand the Hanging City to unlock new potions and customizations. Prepare for the hunt - filled with secrets, strategy, glory, and more!
Beast and Cleaver is a 2D open-world adventure where tactical combat and monster hunting define your journey. As the Hanging City's hired hunter, your mission is to track and defeat mythical creatures, uncover the secrets of their unique spawning conditions, and use their materials to strengthen both yourself and the city. Every successful hunt expands the Hanging City, unlocking new merchants, potions, and character customizations to aid your next battle.

Venture through six distinct biomes—from the frozen peaks of the Snow Mountains to the infernal depths of The Flames—each home to unique creatures with their own behaviors, weaknesses, and environmental triggers. Learning how and where to summon them is just as important as the fight itself.

Combat is quick, skill-based, and unforgiving. Use dashes, rolls, wall slides, and precise strikes to stay alive while taking down formidable foes like wyverns, gorgons, yetis, and other mythological beasts. Every battle requires careful positioning and mastery of movement to outmaneuver deadly attacks.

As you hunt, the Hanging City evolves. Turn in rare materials and slay biome specific bosses to unlock new potions and merchants, making each hunt more efficient. This living, growing hub serves as your base of operations, rewarding your dedication with tons of character customization to look swaged out while battling the deadliest beasts.

Manage your grid-based inventory, balancing rare loot with essential quest goods. Sell excess materials, buy powerful potions, and customize your hunter’s appearance by completing challenging in-game achievements.

Are you ready to track, hunt, and carve your way through the world of Beast and Cleaver? Your city is counting on you.
