Veridus The Walking Nightmare

Veridus The Walking Nightmare is a single-player dark-fantasy action roguelite. In the story, Lord Veydris has pulled Abigail into a hostile dream full of nightmares, and Ganon follows her to bring her home. The game is structured around fifteen waves of increasingly dangerous enemies, ending in a multi-phase battle against Lord Veydris.

Players move, dash and position themselves against approaching hordes, while the equipped weapon attacks nearby enemies automatically. Dashing is limited by a set number of charges. There are seven weapons, each with its own combat style and special technique. Players can combine up to four abilities with a weapon imbuement, collect equipment across several rarities with randomised bonuses, and improve attributes such as damage, defence, movement and critical strikes.

Progression carries over between runs. Dying earns Dream Legacy points and Nightmare Shards, which are spent on permanent upgrades and on expanding the available arsenal. Completing all fifteen waves and defeating Lord Veydris unlocks Nightmare Mode, which adds modifiers to later runs, including faster enemies, larger hordes and elite enemies.
