In Cursed Blood, you’re not just a samurai-ape with a katana — you’re the living vengeance of a shrine betrayed. The sacred Vermillion Shrine has been exploited by mafia scum, and now it demands blood to restore balance. Brutal, fast-paced melee collides with bullet-storm mayhem in a roguelike co-op experience for 1–4 players, playable both online and locally.

Dash. Deflect. Execute. Absorb the blood of your enemies to fuel your fury. Seize their weapons, unleash their firepower — and when the ammo runs dry, hurl that gun back in their face and finish the job with a powered-up katana split. Limbs fly. Gore reigns. Mercy doesn’t exist.

Battle through procedurally crafted levels drenched in industrial-era machinery and blood-powered tech. Unlock world mutations that twist the rules, collect blood relics to forge and upgrade new gear and katanas with unique perks, and face evolving bosses in multi-stage carnage. Bring balance back... or burn everything down.

Cursed Blood is chaotic, merciless, and built for carnage — a deeply cooperative roguelite you can also conquer solo. Designed for endless replayability, it punches hard, bleeds harder, and dares you to come back for just one more run.
