Quick Facts

- Genre: Extraction ARPG
- Developer: Bellring Games
- Platform Compatibility: SteamOS / Linux via Proton 11
- Multiplayer: Solo or three-player squads
SteamOS and Linux Compatibility
Following concerns regarding the Bellring Anti-Cheat system on Linux platforms, early testing confirms that the game functions properly using the Proton 11 release. While initial boots on a Valve Steam Machine may present a temporary plain white screen, subsequent reloads allow the game to run without issues.
Players jumping into the action on Linux handhelds or desktop environments should note that text and UI scaling options are currently limited, requiring closer proximity to the screen for comfortable reading.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Set in a bleak realm where the gods are dead and the Gyldenmist is consuming the world, players take on the role of Gyldhunters revived by a girl named Dew. Players descend into forbidden zones to gather Gyldenblod and repair the Web of Fate.
Key gameplay pillars include:
- Flexible Combat: Choose from six distinct classes and swap weapons mid-battle to handle changing threats.
- High-Stakes Extraction: Loot resources and survive the mist, reaching a Returner Woodling to extract safely with your haul, or lose everything upon defeat.
- Cooperative Play: Hunt solo or team up in squads of three to tackle large bosses and rival hunting groups.
- Fair Progression: The game features no pay-to-win mechanics or purchasable stat boosts.
