Gorgon Shield

Relive the arcade RPG magic with Gorgon Shield, a world-first blend from Oliver Joyce, creator of the Swords and Sandals series. Up to four heroes ride on a giant shield through a vertical tower as you strive to vanquish the mighty gorgon Medusa.

This is a vertical roguelike that fuses top‑down action RPG depth, side‑scrolling survivor momentum, and fast, arena‑style dungeon crawling. Expect simple controls, but mastery comes from smart strategy, powerful synergies, and ruthless persistence.

• Expendable, enduring progress: Each run features four heroes who can die, yet their legacy endures. Treasure collected by fallen teammates passes to the next party, letting upgrades persist and momentum build toward Medusa.
• Four heroes at once: Command a full party as you ascend. The right mix of classes and powers is crucial to survive brutal waves and the tower’s hidden dangers.
• Ten playable heroes: Include familiar staples like the priest, knight, and rogue, each with unique strengths and synergies to unlock and exploit on the climb.
• The Elevator and The Labyrinths: The Elevator tasks you with defending the shield and gathering loot from relentless attackers, while The Labyrinths deliver fast, maze‑like dungeon crawls with tight, strategic combat.

As you progress, you’ll unlock upgrades, new powers, and additional allies. Elevation through the tower reveals more options and deeper strategy—heal to sustain your frontline, unleash lightning to clear mobs, and haste to collect loot before it vanishes. Use your powers wisely and align party synergies to maximize efficiency.

Level up mechanics are rewarding: reach level 4 to recruit a second hero, with further reinforcements at key milestones. Four barbarians may be exciting, but who will heal them when the shield buckles? In Gorgon Shield, expect heroic sacrifices, clever planning, and upgrades that outlive the battle.

Are you ready to reach the tower’s pinnacle and defeat Medusa? Build the ultimate shield‑bound party, master the elevator, conquer the labyrinths, and prove you can survive the ascent in this uniquely crafted arcade roguelike.
