Must-play Arthurian roguelike boldly launches mere days before Hades 2, and I get why it’s so confident

Sworn, an Arthurian roguelike game, has officially launched on Steam after a successful six-month early access period. The game features a combat system influenced by Hades, with dynamic boss encounters and an array of boons. Players can enhance their characters through four unique skill trees and multiple characters, each with four upgradeable weapons. Sworn is set in the realm of Arthurian legends and Celtic lore, contrasting with Hades' Greek mythology. It also includes a co-op mode for up to four players, a potion lab unlocked by Guinevere, new blessings, balance adjustments, and refined weapon upgrades. The game is priced at .99 / £24.99.
