Torchbearer
Only your light can defeat the darkness.
A 4-player arcade dungeon crawler where your torch is your life, your light and your ammo.
Four heroes descend into a dungeon that is going out.
Your torch is your health, your light radius and your damage output: one bar, three meanings, always burning down. Enemies drop embers. Braziers refill you. Or spend torch on purpose: burn a chunk to clear a room, blast a sealed door, light a room for good, or relight a downed teammate from your own flame.
Spend it to win the fight in front of you, or hoard it and survive the next one. Someone always chooses wrong. And the shrinking light literally shrinks how much dungeon you can see.
- The dark is a place: beyond your light you cannot see the room, enemies hit harder and your torch drains faster.
- Rifts pump out hordes until someone destroys them. Get the Rift.
- Four classes defined by their flame: the Warden, the Stalker, the Pyromant and the Lantern.
- Reviving a friend costs a third of your own torch. Nobody has to. Everybody watches who does.
- A campaign, The Descent, and an endless mode, The Deep.
