About

Death Kid is an arcade-inspired arena brawler with meta progression where skill and strategy are crucial. Break through eight seals to reach the bottom of a treacherous well with the help of three souls trapped between life and death. Protect them at all costs, take out hordes of relentless enemies and fight your way to put the wheel of life and death back in motion.

Step into the role of the cryptic Death Kid – a protagonist cursed with immortality. Engage in close-quarters combat, master a variety of powerful abilities and grow stronger with each run. Stay agile, think fast and devise the right strategy to annihilate your enemies.

Let the rage fill you up and unleash the fury upon otherworldly creatures that want to see you fail.

Try again and again to reach the bottom of the well with some help from a mysterious stranger. Gain experience and unlock new abilities hidden in The Book of Death to go further and further with each attempt.

Clear eight floors – each swarming with a different set of relentless monsters. Try to keep the enemies at bay as they draw closer and closer to the center, hungry to drain the life that still lingers inside the souls. Be careful – they will stop at nothing to break you. But there might be a way to use them to your advantage…
