Step into the grim role of a Reaper in Scythe Machine, an upcoming action roguelike from developer Joshua Drubin. Once human, you are now bound to an eternal task: harvesting souls for cosmic entities.
However, a flicker of your former self remains, driving you to consume souls for your own respite and pushing the universe closer to collapse. This isn't a journey of redemption, but a desperate grasp for the humanity you've long forgotten.
Overview
Scythe Machine plunges players into a desperate struggle for survival and self-preservation. As a Reaper, your existence is defined by the endless cycle of soul harvesting. The game blends intense action with a unique semi-cooperative system where alliances are fragile and betrayal is a constant threat. Navigate a dying world, battle fiends, and decide whether to trust fellow Reapers or succumb to the temptation of treachery.
