Kernel Hearts Launches for PC With Four-Player Co-op
The release gives Whitethorn an indie action RPG with a four-player hook, and the announced console version signals the studio is not treating PC as the end of the road.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Kernel Hearts, a roguelike action RPG from developer Ephemera Games and publisher Whitethorn Games, is out now. Players join the android magical girl unit M.A.H.O.U, climb a tower of about seven floors, and fight angel-like monsters to reach a god at the top. Single-player and online co-op for up to four are supported. A console release is announced.
The tower runs about seven floors, and the demo covered two of them. Abilities are drawn fresh each run and stacked into combos, so a build that meshes well hits harder than a scattered one. Between runs you return to a research facility near humanity's last stronghold, where the magical girl can be customized and a curse can be shaken off through the tower's power for a temporary stronger form.
