Rampage Knights is a cooperative beat 'em up game mixed up with randomized dungeon crawling and exploration which you can play alone or with a friend online.

You play as a hero trapped by a spell in a magical forest. All paths lead you to a nearby ruined castle, infested with goblins, skeletons and other foul creatures. Gear up with awesome and ridiculous weapons and spells and descend into the deep labyrinth below the ruin to face its sinister master!

Try to get as far as possible in a dungeon with randomized items, spells, traps and encounters. Your hero is upgraded along the way (both visually and gameplay-wise) as you find better weapons, items, magic powers and fight harder and harder monsters.

The main features:
Frenetic action inspired by Golden Axe and Binding of Isaac
Singleplayer campaign or co-op for two players (online and local)
Randomly generated environments with rogue-like elements
Hero visually evolving with new abilities
Dozens of spells and weapons with game changing properties
Long term progress with new classes and features to unlock
Full controller support
Mighty foot included!

So what do you say? Are you ready to start the rampage?

The release of Rampage Knights is here! After 5 months in Early Access the game is finally ready.

Big thanks to everyone who was supporting us during the Early Access. We must have one of the nicest community out there! Thanks for all the suggestions, feedback and moral support. It helped a lot to get the games to this state. The work is not over for us. We will continue to gather suggestions from the discussion board and we are going to improve the game according to your feedback.

v1.3

We have been working on improvements and fixes of the networking implementation to address lags some people are experiencing in online co-op. We have completly rewritten big chunk of the multiplayer implementation and the code that synchronizes inputs between the host and the client.

We have implemented several new optimizations that should help the game run better in online mode and also on slower computers and notebooks. These are major changes with possible unforseen consequences, so if you experience any issues or crashes please report them in the Community Hub's Discussions.

There is a new "Network rate" option available in the game. The option specifies how frequently the game sends packets between the host and the client. We recommend keeping the network rate at "fast" unless you experience some networking issues. (For example, if you are on wi-fi network and you see freezes or lags, you can try to set the network rate to medium.) Slower network rates are less demanding on your connection but the movement of enemies and other player may seem more jerky.

Gameplay changes and fixes:
Assassin always uses stomp on ghoul heads instead of assassination skill.
Ghoul heads cannot be hit by melee attacks. You can kill them by stomping or dashing.
Pirate's parrot cannot hit ghoul heads lying on the ground.
Damage taken after drinking Mountainer's Schnaps potion does not hit hero's armor or divine shield.
Effects from Mountainer's Schnaps and Buff from the Pit are stackable.
When pirate gets drunk by drinking from keg, the regeneration is triggered immediately.
Achievement Friendship is Magic is now properly rewarded in local co-op game.
Mod items are showing proper (big) icon in the "last acquired" panel.
Victory screen scroll is no longer cut off in 4:3 resolution.
Fixed bug where skins from items and status effects were not applied properly during ressurect animation in online co-op.
Sometimes in online co-op with high pings the "death fanfare" was played twice or it was played even if no hero really died. This could also happen for sound played when a golden chest was opened. This bug is now fixed.

Network fixes:
Complete rewrite of multiplayer implementation and input synchronization between the host and the client to address lags some people are experiencing.
Added "Network rate" option to control frequency of network updates between the host and the client.
Fixed "desync" and "input frame mismatch" errors.
Fixed crash when trying to continue saved online game on clients.

[getter77]

v1.7  This is a big one!   

Endless Dungeon
We added an Endless Dungeon game mode where you keep descending deeper and deeper into a neverending dungeon with challenges along the way.
The Endless Dungeon starts on a hard difficulty and increases difficulty after each boss battle a bit.
There is now a portal in the camp which you can use to enter a Shadow World or the Endless Dungeon. The Shadow World is not entered by talking to Tim anymore.
The Endless Dungeon is unlocked once you complete the campaign at least once.
In the Endless Dungeon passive items cannot stack (you can have only one instance of each passive item).
In the Endless Dungeon you can have only three familiars at once. You can have only one familiar of the same type.
Sword of the Underworld, Paladin's Belt, Amulet of Light and Magic Elven Leaf don't spawn in the Endless Dungeon.
Game tracks the maximum level reached in the Endless Dungeon which can be viewed in the statistics menu in the camp.
To make the endless mode more balanced, vitality is now capped at 200 and spell damage is capped at 50.
New achievement Rolf's Demise.

Gameplay changes and other new content
The game tracks how many times you have completed the Shadow World. Because the game didn't track this statistic before, it starts from 0 (sorry).
Added a new short level to the campaign following the dungeon level.
Dragon boss now has three variants - fire, poison and ice.
Demonic armor now regains 1 durability after each battle (not after each kill).
Player takes double damage from melee attacks of demons when having immunity to curses.
Projectiles (bees) spawned by Queen Bee item don't hit other player in co-op anymore.
Disabled snowing theme from holidays and reverted back to normal weather in the forest and the courtyard levels.
Locked faces in appearance menu in the camp show which challenges unlock them.
A chance for rooms with pits on insane difficulty is the same as for other difficulties, so there are less rooms with pits in a campaign in general.
Shadow World randomization does not save the players' look and class in their profile. When the Shadow World play is finished, the players are reset back to their original appearances.
Increased delay between consecutive attacks of Demonic Eye familiar.
Familiars don't shoot if there are no enemies in room.
Shuffle from the Wheel of Misfortune does not shuffle spellbooks, so spell damage is not lost.
Scroll of Black Magic gives spell damage +30 instead of +10.
Bean of Unnatural Growth gives +1 vitality in the endless mode (it still gives +2 in the normal campaign).
Freezing waves spawned by ice wizards (and thorn wave of the Slimehead boss) are stopped by pits and walls.
A new female hero: Fish Lady Warrior
New hats: Black Sombrero, Bowler, Toadstool Hat, Fez.
A New "Stay away!" emote.
Devil's Pact item graphics was changed so it cannot be mistaken for a scroll.
A new and stronger version of Ghoul for the second half of the campaign.
A new enemy Slasher with low health but massive damage.
Many pit rooms and spike rooms have been revised to make them less frustrating.
New types of explosive barrels: poison a ice barrels. This also affects the pyromancer curse.
Spitter totem can be jumped over but you get hit if you try to land on it.

Bug fixes and technical improvements
Freedom Giver should give patriotic clothing to all classes now.
Fixed a bug where waves spawned by ice wizards didn't spawn on ground tiles created by Scroll of Builder.
Fixed a bug where dying with appearance menu opened in the camp could make the player invulnerable.
Fixed pumpkin mob's chance to throw pumpkins being too high in situations when there are more than four pumpkins in a room.
Fixed bug where rolling spikeballs could fall into pits sometimes. That also caused strange sound behavior of the rolling sound.
Fixed a bug where upgrade from the Wheel of Misfortune was giving spell damage +10 instead of +5.
Fixed a bug where Medal of Light and Magic Elven Leaf didn't remove curses/diseases when picked up.
Fixed a bug where giants who slipped on banana peel could not be hit while wobbling.
Fixed a bug where frozen beholder disappears for a while when hit from uppercut attack.
When you connect to an online game where someone else has played before, you won't get the class of the previous player anymore. You get weapon, items and status effects from the character of the previous player, but your appearance and class will use your preferred setting from your profile. Note that this may result in some items being dropped. For example if you connect as a warlock to a character who had familiars, the familiars will be dropped since warlock cannot have familiars. The same can happen for armor with barbarian class and boots with pirate class.
Windows: The game is now high DPI aware so it can run natively in 4k resolutions. This fixes fullscreen not working properly on 4k monitors with custom scaling level other than 100%.
