About Arkheron
In Arkheron 15 teams of three battle their way up a mysterious and surreal Tower, fighting monsters and eliminating rival teams to ascend to the next floor. There are no fixed heroes or roles, instead players define their builds in every match on the fly by looting items that unlock powerful abilities and unique playstyles that evolve floor-to-floor. By combining high-precision combat skills and team coordination, the final two teams will meet at the top of the Tower in a winner-takes-all showdown.
Following Steam Next Fest, Bonfire Studios will share details about Arkheron’s upcoming Closed Beta on PC, which will introduce Ranked Play.
