Brigands is a dungeon crawler RPG that combines hack and slash combat with local co-op gameplay. Developed solely by Simon Rinfret (Azooloom), the game features five distinct playable classes: Barbarian, Huntress, Paladin, Saboteur, and Sorceress. Gameplay is presented in three styles — traditional dungeon crawling, minecart sections, and unique turtle-like levels. Players progress through a leveling system with customizable skills and attributes, unlocking over 50 unlockable weapons. Dynamic AI creates challenging combat encounters with special elite enemies and bosses, and the environments contain interactive elements, secrets, puzzles, and traps. The game enhances co-op play with a synergy mechanic that allows players to combine abilities with allies or six different companions.
