About

Duel Corp is a gritty action RPG that blends the punishment of Souls-like mechanics with the freedom of a sandbox open world. Featuring a unique directional combat system and an 'MMO feel' designed for solo or co-op play, it challenges players to master unrestricted class building while exploring a retro-fantasy realm.

Story

Set in a mysterious, procedurally generated retro-fantasy world, players are tasked with uncovering the cause that 'darkened all eyes.' While narrative specifics remain shrouded in mystery, the setting implies a deep lore hidden within item descriptions and environmental storytelling typical of the genre.

Gameplay

The core of Duel Corp is its fluid, challenging directional combat where positioning and angle of attack are critical. Players navigate a classless progression system, allowing for hybrid builds that mix magic, melee, and agility without artificial restrictions, all while managing stamina in high-stakes encounters.
