What is Armatus?
Armatus is a third-person roguelite shooter from Counterplay Games, published by Fictions. The world has ended, demons have overrun Paris, and the last survivors shelter behind holy wards while reality comes apart around them.
You play the last supernatural warrior of an ancient order, searching the ruined city for the Sunless Gate, a lost gateway to heaven. Each run pairs a scythe with a gun of your choice and celestial powers. Death sends you back, but what you learn carries over as the streets give way to stranger hellscapes.
