Kernel Hearts is a unique blend of action RPG and roguelike elements with multiplayer co-op. As part of the M.A.H.O.U. Unit, you are tasked with ascending the Tower of Babel, eliminating the angelic creatures in your path as you attempt to dethrone God to save a world drowning in ashes.
Kernel Hearts will launch in September 2026 on the Epic Games Store, Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch platforms.
Features:
- Eliminate Angels. Slay God. Climb the Tower, taking on the angels in your path as you utilize attacks, spells, movement, and unique powers to unseat God and save your world.
- Transform Into a Magical Girl. Harness the strength of the tower to dispel the Heavenly Curse from yourself, unleashing a devastating attack on nearby foes and attaining your true form for a short period.
- Equip and Customize Your Units. After each expedition, you will return to humanity's last holdout. Spend the rewards from each run and customize as you see fit.
- Bond With Your Allies. Interact with the tower's unique inhabitants and give them gifts to deepen your bond.
- Do It All Alone, or With Friends. Enjoy the journey on your own or in a group with up to 4-player online co-op.
