Description from Steam STEAM

"Vanquish Evil throws you into dense forests and flaming rings while unleashing wave after wave of monsters. Feels like a survival gauntlet on overdrive." - IndieSight "Fast-paced, addictive, and full of variety! The upgrade system keeps each run fresh, and the pixel art style looks fantastic. A must-play for action RPG fans!" - Awesome Games Review Group FAST-PACED ACTION ROGUELITE COMBAT Vanquish Evil aims to take the most fun core gameplay from the ARPG/Roguelite/Survivors-like genres -- and crank up the action to one thousand percent! Where player skill and strategic upgrade choices strongly influence the runs. In addition to auto-abilities, the game is also a Twin-Stick Shooter where certain abilities have manual direction and activation. The game has a signature design, influenced by weapon evolutions, called Ascended Synergies. These abilities are created from combining 2 chosen upgrades after both have been chosen. These will usually have level requirements before they appear as upgrade choices. THE STORY A supernatural cosmic battle is being fought for the mortal realm, and much of the world is already in ruin. A final resistance of humanity are brave enough to fight. Many die, and are turned into undead armies who serve the formless evil cosmic presence known as Absolute Darkness (Vile). Ascended Light (Veil), a cosmic presence in favor of saving humanity, send Cosmic Guardians to fight alongside the mortal armies. The final elite army of heroes stand together to fight an apocalyptic war with one common goal... Vanquish Evil. GAME DEVELOPMEMENT GOALS Creating fun gameplay and high replay value is the goal. The game in it's current state is built to have all character progression in-game for that specific run, which gives the game a lot of replay value. The game now has meaningful meta progression. Trade Soul Crystals from vanquished enemies for Gold Coins, which are then used to buy Gear and Items. The Gear has an Equip/Unequip option in the SHOP menu, and the Items are permanent meta progression in the form of buffs and passives. SPECIAL FEATURES Stylized hand-drawn pixel art, animation, and background art! Original Music Soundtrack, paying homage to classic retro RPG soundtracks!
