How co-op works
Up to four players cooperate through procedurally generated dungeons, combining weapons, magic items, and spells with stackable effects. Teams share loot, coordinate builds against eight enemy factions, and tackle boss encounters that demand communication and positioning.
About this game
Son of a Witch is a roguelike action game built for cooperative play, supporting up to four players locally or online. Each run sends the team through procedurally generated dungeon floors populated by monsters, loot, and boss encounters, with the ultimate goal of reaching the ancient goblin artifact hidden at the end. The game also includes a separate versus mode for competitive play.

Combat revolves around combining dozens of weapons, magic items, potions, and spells, each with unique properties that can stack in surprising ways. Players choose between melee strikes, ranged attacks, and magical abilities while managing limited resources and shared loot drops. Eight distinct enemy factions require different tactical approaches, and the twenty-eight bosses test pattern recognition and team coordination under pressure.
Each run resets progress but builds familiarity with item synergies and enemy behavior, rewarding experimentation across repeat attempts. The roguelike structure keeps sessions unpredictable, while cross-platform multiplayer and LAN support offer flexible ways to play together. Whether tackling a quick run or grinding toward the final artifact, the game thrives on communication and adaptive teamwork.
