While first person fantasy action RPGs may cause one to think of The Elder Scrolls, many indie and AA developers are now looking to other sources for inspiration, namely 2006’s Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Upcoming games such as Fatekeeper, and Alkahest look to be modern spiritual sequels to that classic game, and now another indie developer has thrown their hat into the ring with Cropageddon. Cropageddon is an upcoming action RPG roguelite with a twist, namely that the enemies in the game are evil fruit and vegetables that you must fight.
An ancient curse has twisted the harvest. What was meant to feed humanity now hungers for its destruction. Fruits rot into fanged horrors. Vegetables twist into shambling nightmares. The Cropageddon has begun, and only you stand between civilization and an army of mutant produce.
As the chosen one, you wield both brutal melee weapons and devastating elemental magic to carve through hordes of crop abominations. Your sandbox, your slaughter. Freeze enemies and shatter them to pieces. Shrink mutant corns to stomp them underfoot. Burn twisted tomatoes to a crisp. Every encounter is your playground of destruction.
ADAPTIVE COMBAT Combine swords, axes, and hammers with fire, ice, lightning, and telekinesis. Dark Messiah-inspired first-person combat meets roguelite chaos. Each spell and weapon creates unique opportunities—hurl burning barrels with telekinesis or cleave through weakened foes with devastating combos.
PROGRESSION THAT PERSISTS Death isn’t the end—it’s evolution. Unlock powerful new spells and weapons between runs. Each attempt lets you experiment with different starting loadouts, ensuring no two playthroughs feel the same. Grow stronger with permanent meta-progression while temporary boons and attributes reset with each death, keeping the challenge fresh.
VARIED MODES, FIXED MASTERY The levels don’t change, but your approach does. Master handcrafted arenas through wave survival, timed gauntlets, and other challenging modes. Learn enemy patterns, discover secrets, and perfect your strategies. True mastery comes from skill, not luck.
