A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Eradication Bastion is a small-scale, arcade-y roguelike where you dash through a dark fortress, killing anyone in your path. You already start out with many mobility abilities and a trusty sword. Every step you take forward builds momentum. Every action you take will use your momentum to keep propelling you forward. Standing still means certain death.

Hints

  • There's almost no situation where crashing into a wall is unavoidable. You can use the grappling hook to change direction quickly or come to a stop instantly.
  • By running into an enemy with your sword pointing forward, you perform a stab.
  • Lining up a stab  or evading attacks can be made easier by strafing left/right with CTRL + (←↖↗→)
  • You can cancel a stab by turning into either direction or strafing.
  • Grappling an injured enemy will rip their heart out.
  • You cannot grapple in the same direction as your sword is facing. Keep this in mind when lining up to rip an enemy's heart out.
  • Your blade will sheathe automatically if you lose your momentum.
  • It's not necessary to pick a card at the end of each level. By rejecting them you convert them directly into extra points.
  • Some enemies have different resistances to slashes/stabs.
  • The bellwraiths are summoned after 12 bell tolls.
  • You can pass over chasms as long as you have enough momentum. You cannot turn, accelerate or decelerate on chasms, but you can swing your sword and grapple.
  • Remember that you can pass time with SPACEBAR. You will never move more than one tile when passing time. Use this to line up heart grapples.
