Description:

Riptale is challenging retro 2D rogue like that tries to make combat as satisfying as possible.

You use astral gems to perform slicing attacks that send you dashing through the levels. Each attack has to be manually aimed with 360 degree precision. But be careful! Gems are exhausted after attack and they recharge over time. Make sure your aim is true or you will run into trouble. If you can connect with each hit all gems are immediately recharged allowing the slicing and dicing to continue filling the screen with blood and body parts.

Killing enemies yields you gold. Combos yield more gold. Find shops to upgrade your gems and make your character into ultimate slicing and dicing machine.
