Your attack does not grow stronger. What happens when an enemy dies does.

Death Cascade is a dark fantasy arena roguelite about turning one kill into many. Focus an enemy, let your automatic Spark finish it, and watch its death trigger a reaction. Choose mutations that change each reaction’s shape and reach until a single opening becomes an arena-wide cascade.

Build the cascade

  • Choose Firestarter, Pariah, Judgement, or Cataclyst. Each bends the chain in a different way.
  • Survive escalating waves, choose new mutations, and face the Herald and the Crucible Heart.
  • Chase bigger chains and personal bests. Your records are saved locally.

Controls: Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Point at an enemy to focus; left click or press Space to Pulse; right click to move to a point. Press Q to cycle Cataclyst’s reaction shape, and Esc or P to pause. On touch screens, tap an enemy to focus, tap or drag on empty ground to move, and double tap the arena to Pulse.
