Here is an overview of the game, via PQube:
About
The giants came out of nowhere and as they brought chaos to the land and its creatures, the once strong and wealthy kingdom of Camelot was destroyed. Fearing the giants may bring calamity to not just the kingdom but the entire world, a wizard named Merlin tried to seal the Void Giant back to the Astral Dimension, but unintentionally banished Camelot with it.
In this medieval fantasy roguelite, play as a legendary hero and find a way to restore the kingdom to its former glory. Discover a way to transport Camelot and any survivors back to Earth but beware, Merlin did not merely banish the kingdom and its people … with it came the giants.
- Giant Bosses Await You in the Astral Dimension – Engage in combat with these monsters terrorising the kingdom and defeat them with your broken Excalibur.
- Restore the Kingdom – Restore Camelot to its former glory by defeating giants and bringing back many of its surviving inhabitants who have been scattered across the Astral Dimension.
- Count Your Blessings – More than 100 active and passive skills which you can receive as blessings from legendary knights who perished in Camelot’s destruction.
- Experience an Engaging Voice-Acted Story – With acting legend Brian Blessed OBE as the voice of Merlin!
- Randomly Generated Maps – Explore beautifully hand-drawn maps that randomly generate.
- Help and Recruit Survivors – Encounter various NPCs who might be able to help you on your mission to save the kingdom. While some may aid you, others can be recruited and sent back to Camelot.
