Evaluation

Kharon's Crypt - Even Death May Die left Early Access and launched its full 1.0 version on February 1, 2022, accompanied by a free "Release Expansion" that added over 3 hours of content, new enemies, new puzzles, a souls-like hardcore mode, and secret bosses. The developer framed this as the culmination of four years of work and a successful Kickstarter campaign. There have been no developer posts since the launch announcement, no unreleased DLC on the store (the only DLC is the soundtrack, which released the same day as the game), and no roadmap or statements pointing to future content. The game appears to have launched as a complete, finished product with no further content planned or communicated.

About this game

Kharon's Crypt is an eerie metroidvania dungeon crawler game full of puzzles, riddles and deadly challenges, and graphics designed to follow the aesthetics of the beloved Game Boy Color. In Kharon's Crypt, you'll be playing as Kharon (a being thought to be death itself) in his mission to escape from the crypt where he had been sealed by a deranged king that wanted to elude death.

As Kharon, your abilities are flying, going through physical objects, and stun your enemies. To defeat your opponents and escape from the crypt, you'll need to steal the bodies of your enemies by possessing them. You'll be able to fly in a bat's body, fight from inside a skeleton, or even use a mimic's abilities to help yourself hide.

Do you have what it takes to escape from the crypt and compel the Deranged King to meet his fate?

F E A T U R E S

  • You can possess all exanimates (enemies)



  • Each exanimate has unique properties: bats can fly, skeletons can open locks...

  • Near 100 collectable Necronomicon pages full of lore



  • Metroidvania world design



  • Dozens of mysteries, side quets and puzzles



  • And more than 11 challenging Boss Fights!




Colorblind-Friendly Design
Kharon's Crypt has been designed taking into account three types of color blindness –protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia– in order to make the game more accessible.
