Colourful, quirky, and completely chaotic, Above Land: Rhapsody
is a three-player co-op roguelite that injects hilariously over-the-top weapons and special moves into its frenetic gameplay. The game features a deep sense of combat customisation, allowing players to wield an eclectic arsenal of weapons, including giant broadswords, yo-yos, electric guitars, and even basketballs.
Gameplay
In the game, players take on the role of a young child who must navigate a floating vessel called 'The Invincible Bebe' and engage in battles with monsters in a land above the clouds. The combat system is simple yet rewarding, with each weapon having its own unique combat mechanics and special skills. The game also features a variety of character modifiers that can be equipped on the fly, ranging from electrifying weapons to buffs that make the player character grow in size.
Co-op Multiplayer
The game's co-op multiplayer component is still a work in progress, but it promises to offer a range of exciting features, including the ability to trade items and create powerful combos with other players. For example, two players wielding basketballs can pass the ball back and forth to create a powerful whirlwind, before finishing off enemies with an alley-oop dunk.
Conclusion
Above Land: Rhapsody is an action RPG overflowing with energy and playfulness, and its potential is certainly sky high. While the game still needs to iron out some of its systems and provide better onboarding for new players, it is an exciting and entertaining experience that is sure to delight fans of co-op roguelites and action RPGs.
