description Sundered Overview

Sundered is a 2017 action-platformer with roguelike elements, developed by Thunder Lotus Games, a Canadian studio previously known for the 2015 game Jotun. The player navigates procedurally generated underground levels that rearrange after each death, battling creatures inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and large-scale boss enemies. A central mechanic involves collecting elder shards that can corrupt the player for power upgrades, with the decision to accept or resist corruption affecting the ending.

The game features hand-drawn 2D animation and was released for Windows, macOS, and PlayStation 4.

help Sundered FAQ

Is Sundered a roguelike or a Metroidvania?

Sundered is a hand-drawn Metroidvania with roguelike elements, developed by Canadian studio Thunder Lotus Games. The 2017 game combines backtracking and ability-gated exploration with procedurally changing caverns and repeated deaths. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/535480/Sundered/)

What happens when Eshe dies in Sundered?

Eshe respawns in the Hub, where collected progress can be used to level up and customize her abilities. Death is therefore part of the upgrade loop rather than a complete restart with no lasting progression. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/535480/Sundered/)

Are Sundered's levels procedural or hand-designed?

Sundered mixes hand-crafted areas with procedural level sections and dynamically spawned enemies. The world still uses Metroidvania-style backtracking, secrets, and ability unlocks, so it is not a completely random dungeon generator. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/535480/Sundered/)

Does Sundered: Eldritch Edition support local co-op?

Yes, the Eldritch Edition added local co-op for up to 4 players through the Magnate of the Gong update. It also added new areas, a quest chain, and the Magnate of the Gong boss. [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/535480/Sundered/)
