Everything you need to tell the story of ZANOKA.

ZANOKA is a fast-paced action roguelike hack-and-slash swordfighting combo game for Windows PC, in development by solo developer ZanokaGameDev. Players fight as Zanoka through waves of enemies, chaining sword attacks, heavy strikes, and perfect dodges into combos, then shape each run with upgrades and elemental boons. Every run is different, and every run can reveal a new build.

• Combos. Chain sword attacks, heavy strikes, perfect dodges, and combo chains into expressive melee combat.
• Bosses. A boss every seventh round. The lineup changes from run to run, and later bosses can carry traits that change the fight.
• Elemental boons. Combine lightning, fire, ice, venom, bleed, and shock into boon synergies that change the way combat works.
• Permanent upgrades. Spend the gold you earn on trainings like armour, regeneration, and critical hits, and keep them for every run after.
• Builds. Mix survivability choices, enemy pulls, knockback, summons, decoys, and phantom weapons into a build of your own.

Everything shown is from the work-in-progress build and may change.
