HAWKER

HAWKER is a Roguelite Action-RPG where you must pay or evade a debt to Death in a procedurally-generated grimdark world, inspired by Breton folklore. You have just thirty days to settle an impossible debt. Pay, or Fall. In the dust and bones of ruined Ysward, you must scavenge, barter and fight for ichor, life, and truth. Hunted. Haunted. Awaken strange powers that could lead to the rebirth of Ysward, or a fate worse than undeath. The shadows fuel your most powerful abilities—but beware, the night belongs to the Fallen. Can you upgrade far enough in time to seize it from them? Travel with your caravan between outposts scattered across the sprawling biomes. Trade your loot strategically with locals’ shifting demands and desires. Fill special orders for greater profit. Discover the murky history of Ysward and its eccentric survivors; preserve the future, or preserve yourself. You will die. You will lose loot, active boons, and your most precious resource—time. Your permanent perks and currency will persist. Get up, purchase some upgrades, and try again. - Roguelite ARPG / Shop Keeper hybrid, inspired by your favourite indie roguelikes. - Precise and weighty combat in a dangerous world: dodge, parry, and adapt your core abilities to each encounter. - Grow unique builds over time with a diverse array of temporary and permanent upgrade choices. - Shadow and night will transform yourself, your enemies and the environment in exploitable and deadly ways. - Shop management systems: upgrade your humble merchant caravan, anticipate the changing demands of each outpost and hunt for special orders. Scale up to service as many customers as possible each night. - Discover a compelling, narrative-rich grimdark world inspired by renaissance sci-fi and Breton folklore. Defend or exploit an eclectic cast of memorable characters. - With just thirty days to succeed, the world will not wait for you. Friends will change or fall, foes will emerge. Your creditor’s patience rapidly wanes.
