Coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4/5 and Nintendo Switch this year, Hammerwatch II offers an improved, richer Hammerwatch gameplay experience with all-new immersive environments to explore. Quest, collect items, fight new enemies, and go up against challenging bosses - all in four-player co-op.

Adventure alone or gather a party to aid King Roland’s resistance in online four-player co-op, tackling the diverse and epic quests in Hammerwatch II’s vast, dynamic world. Journey through Hammer Island, the Fallowfields, and the dark mountainous regions of Blackbarrow all created in the signature Hammerwatch pixelated art style. Build a custom Hero and choose between five distinct character classes: Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard and Warlock before customizing a hero’s appearance and leveling up to unlock powerful new abilities and skills.

A special edition of Hammerwatch II, Hammerwatch II: The Chronicles Edition, is available for preorder for $39.99 and will be available in retail stores and digitally at launch. The Chronicles Edition includes the following:

• Hammerwatch: Anniversary Edition – the original Hammerwatch, now remastered.
• 20 Additional Player Colors to Choose from.
• 2 Additional Voice Packs.
• 5 Additional Hero Facial Features.

Hammerwatch 2 will also be available stand alone for 24.99 USD on Steam and the Anniversary Edition of Hammerwatch 2013 for 19.99 USD.

Never played the first one but this looks pretty cool. Anything to compare it to?

I'd say the first one has elements of the original Gauntlet game from the 80s with a bit of Diablo in it. Also death is permanent once you run out of lives.

Is this a roguelite?
