A Kingdom Gone Mad
The story begins with a desperate king attempting to bring his queen back from the dead using forbidden magic. Things don’t exactly go to plan.
Unable to control the powers of life and death, the king loses his sanity and the kingdom falls into chaos. It’s up to the game’s heroes to fight back against hordes of enemies and take on the consequences of the Mad King’s actions.
From there, you’ll find that Mad King Redemption takes inspiration from classic beat ’em ups, combining familiar brawling action with 3D mechanics and roguelite elements. There are four playable characters to get involved with too, each with their own combat style, backstory and customisable stats. Players can upgrade those heroes, unlock multiple skills and develop their abilities as they battle through the kingdom.
Randomised elements also mean that no two runs should play out in exactly the same way.
Time For Redemption
With a fallen kingdom, a deranged ruler and plenty of enemies standing in the way, Mad King Redemption looks to put a roguelite spin on the traditional beat ’em up formula.
It’s available now for £12.49 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Xbox Play Anywhere support included. Just make your way to the Xbox Store and you’ll be able to purchase and download the game.
