About
"Plague Breaker" is a retro-style roguelike platformer with RPG elements, inspired by games like "Rogue Legacy," "Binding of Isaac," and "Castlevania: Circle of the Moon."

Permanent death adds to the challenge, and with multiclassing and unique ability combinations, each playthrough offers a fresh challenge.
