✨Overview Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse is an upcoming roguelite metroidvania with town building, 4-player coop, and ‘possession’ mechanics to freshen up the genre. The game is set to release in Early Access in Q1 2024, but players can already get a taste of the experience through the already available demo on Steam, and I tried just that. The game supports up to 4-player coop, but in the demo, only singleplayer was possible to try.

SHOULD I PLAY NEVER GRAVE: THE WITCH AND THE CURSE? This is a demo you should definitely check out. Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse is a 2D action game that combines the best elements of some of my favorite genres. It’s an exploration-heavy Metroidvania with awesome traversal mechanics, but it’s also a roguelite with tons of power-ups to collect. It even has light base-building mechanics, so I always had lots of projects to work on between runs. I had a blast with the demo, and I can’t wait to play the full game.
