 Developed by Streetlamp Studio and published by Skystone Games, the game is currently in development for PC via Steam. Players interested in future testing can request access through the Join the SlashZero Playtest page on Steam. 

Rather than following a traditional action platformer formula, SlashZero centers each run around flexible buildcrafting, encouraging different combat styles, upgrade paths, and skill combinations with every playthrough.

Buildcrafting Drives Every Run

Buildcrafting sits at the heart of SlashZero's roguelite progression.

Instead of committing to a fixed character path, each expedition introduces new combinations of weapons, passive upgrades, elemental abilities, and combat modifiers. Every run develops differently, rewarding experimentation and adaptation over memorizing a single optimal strategy.

High-Speed Combat With Stylish Platforming

SlashZero blends responsive melee combat with fluid platforming across multi-layered stages.

Dash attacks, aerial combos, evasive movement, and environmental traversal are designed to flow seamlessly together, creating encounters that reward precision, timing, and momentum. Enemy patterns demand quick reactions while leaving room for creative offensive play.

Explore a Fractured Cyberpunk World

Players step into the role of a Timehacker navigating a cyberpunk world fractured by temporal anomalies.

Each run leads through new environments filled with hostile enemies, hidden routes, and pieces of a larger mystery surrounding the Lord of the Void. Exploration and narrative progression unfold naturally through repeated expeditions, giving every journey new discoveries beyond combat alone.

Elemental Abilities Expand Combat Options

Combat extends beyond weapon mastery through a variety of elemental abilities.

Different powers can dramatically change how encounters unfold, allowing players to freeze enemies, unleash lightning attacks, or combine offensive effects into unique combat strategies.
