Evaluation

Ravenswatch launched on September 26, 2024 and has since received a steady run of free updates and paid Hero DLC. The Kintarō Hero DLC and a free update with reworks to around fifty talents went live on October 12, 2026, and every DLC entry listed on the store is now available. The developer's March 4, 2026 roadmap, however, lays out plans for updates and DLC through 2026 and 2027, stating 'we still have a few ideas in the bag for more content and new Heroes.' The September 28, 2026 anniversary post repeats that the team is eager to share what comes next, and a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is planned for fall 2026 with no release date announced yet. Because the developer has committed to further content beyond Kintarō, the game is still receiving new content.

About this game


Ravenswatch is a top-down roguelike action game in which you play as heroes of tales and legends that must slay hordes of nightmarish creatures in nerve-racking fights. After the success of Curse of the Dead Gods©, Passtech Games returns with an improved formula and an addictive game experience with endless replay value. It can be played solo or with up to four players in co-op.


Play as 9 heroes, each with a unique twist and individual gameplay, including Little Red Riding Hood, who suffers from lycanthropy; Sun Wukong, the fallen monkey king; the Snow Queen with her evil powers; and many other familiar characters who have a darker side and are more violent than you might remember.


The Nightmare has invaded the world of dreams and is corrupting everything in its wake. Faced with this evil, the Ravenswatch is gathering heroes from tales and legends from all over the world to lead a crucial battle and restore the fragile balance. But the heroes themselves have been corrupted. How deep do the roots of this evil go?

  • Explore 3 open maps filled with activities and inspired by enchanted forests and marshes, One Thousand and One Nights, and Arthurian legends respectively.
  • Help the inhabitants of Reverie, such as the Three Little Pigs, Sinbad the Sailor and Morgan the fairy, and earn valuable rewards to help you in your future battles.
  • Reveal the story of each character and Reverie, run after run.
  • Ravenswatch is a meticulously crafted combination of a dark fantasy atmosphere with a comic book style.


To defeat the Nightmare and reach the final chapter, you will need a strong build, focus and/or excellent teamwork. You have 3 days and 3 nights to increase your power. Face the chapter boss when you feel ready… or when you no longer have a choice.

  • In the purest tradition of the roguelike genre, Ravenswatch is a challenging game but fair, balanced and refined thanks to community feedback.
  • Epic boss battles and over 50 formidable, uniquely designed enemies.
  • With each level completed, you earn the right to choose a new talent and improve your heroes' skills. Combine talents, items and dreams to craft the most powerful builds.
  • Even more fun with friends or using the matchmaking feature: explore the synergies and relationships between heroes with up to four players in co-op.


During your game, optimize your time and make the best use of the upgrades you earn. With each new run, explore a new map filled with activities and enemies. Unlock new heroes and new content from one run to the next.

  • Over 200 talents, 50 magical items and endless build combinations.
  • Randomly generated maps with a wide range of activities.
  • 4 difficulty levels and customized game modes for an even greater challenge or to enjoy Ravenswatch at your own pace.
  • Regular updates will add new free content.
