Perseus Titan Slayer is an Indie, Isometric, Action RPG, a kind of Diablo like ARPG with a Titan Quest feel, + Action Roguelike Horde Survival gameplay.
Perseus Titan Slayer is a Horde Survival + Titan Quest Fusion!

While Perseus Titan Slayer looks and feels a bit like Diablo or Titan Quest, it is not a Dungeon Crawler, as dungeon exploration is not a feature of the game; rather, the focus here is on tight ARPG gameplay, and the feeling of just tearing through waves of foes.

The combat in Perseus Titan Slayer feels good.
Your weapon set determines your first ability; the starting sword and shield has the 360 “Shield Bash”, the Big Sword has a whirlwind, the shortbow shots 3 arrow, and the dual short swords have a 3 hit flurry attack; all feel different, providing some variability, a bit of choice at the start; always nice to see.

Enemies in Perseus Titan Slayer have collision, so don’t think you can just ignore them and literally walk right threw them, as you can in many VS-likes.
However, you have a “dash”, a dash that literally runs over your enemies, harming them and repositioning yourself against the hordes of foes trying to box you in and cut you down.
It is you vs. the many; use all your abilities to blast them down hero!

The within run progression is gold, used after clearing each room to buy gems, enchant found gear, and buy short lasting consumables, while the Meta Progression is tied to Shards, used to unlock persistent, passive upgrades in-between runs.

You choose your path through the series of battle chambers assembled by Procedural Generation, choosing in a Slay the Spire like manner from the displayed paths, which tell you what their rewards will be. Perma Death is present, but you do keep amassed shards, so this helps each run feel meaningful, even if you fall.

Gamepad support is present, as are 3 additional Unlockable difficulties, unlocking upon victory after a run.
A Survivors mode is planned as well, in case you want nothing but constant slaughter!

Note: This is an early demo of Perseus Titan Slayer so any bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Perseus Titan Slayer is offering fun ARPG Titan Quest style + PermaDeath Horde Survival fusion, and is easily worth a wishlist, and a watch.
