Conan: The Black Pyramid playtest

About Conan: The Black Pyramid

The Black Pyramid calls to warriors across time. Conan has answered.

Conan: The Black Pyramid is an action roguelite RPG where sword & sorcery meets cosmic horror. Fight alone or with a friend in 2-player online co-op. Shape your build with every run, turn chance to your advantage, and return with new ways to challenge the darkness.

Explore the distant lands of Robert E. Howard’s shared universe and take control of such iconic heroes as Conan, Solomon Kane, Dark Agnes, and more. Descend into eldritch chambers of the Black Pyramid, a mysterious and dangerous place that defies the logic of space and time. Confront the shadows of the champions themselves and piece together the dark secrets of their past.

Choose your own path through the shifting labyrinth of ancient ruins, ravaged kingdoms and occult halls ripped from different eras of time. Slay nightmarish monsters, savage beasts and bloodthirsty fanatics, and face off against challenging bosses that guard every layer of the Black Pyramid.

Every run presents new routes, new combat possibilities and new story events that move you closer to learning the truth: who summoned you here?

Choose from 5 distinct characters and weave crushing melee blows, precise swordplay, ranged gunfire and magical attacks into powerful combos. Dodge away from danger and stagger enemies with precisely timed parries to unleash brutal executions, or wear them down with dangerous status effects. Switch weapons and relics to adapt to every combat situation and outsmart your opponents.

Discover multiple Warrior Memories for every character, each with their unique combination of weapons and abilities that drastically change the playstyle. Define your build with ancient artifacts that grant new devastating effects, introduce new combat mechanics, or save you from a fatal blow. Combine them with upgradable Combat Masteries to create your own version of the unstoppable champion. Become even stronger with every attempt as you level up your heroes and unlock permanent upgrades with Wakestones.

As you search the Pyramid for perfect items for your build, you collect dice that increase your chances of better loot. Add more dice to your result and unlock additional rewards now, or save them for later when the stakes are higher.

Fight the nightmares of the Pyramid alone or with a friend in 2-player online co-op. Share the journey, earn individual rewards and keep your progression. Experiment with different characters and build combinations to truly dominate the foe, side by side.
