Tame Monsters to Survive the Hordes in Wildkeepers Rising OUT NOW in Early Access

Eviscerate oceans of enemies with a party of Monster Guardians at your side

Vancouver, British Columbia. March 31st, 2025 — Wildkeepers Rising, the monster taming action roguelite launches into Early Access today, bringing a twist on the addicting bullet heaven genre. With hand-drawn visuals inspired by Akira Toriyama, the legendary artist behind classics like Dragon Ball and Chrono Trigger, Wildkeepers Rising fuses the intense horde battles of survivorlikes with the compulsive fun of creature collecting and party-based RPGs. Wildkeepers Rising is out now on Steam for $9.99 USD.



As a Wildkeeper, release the Guardians and combine their abilities in a synergetic party of four! In each run, build your team to face the hordes and navigate maps with unique topography, strategizing around choke-points and defensive positions. With more than a billion possible build combinations of Guardians, Wildkeepers, and equipable Sigils, players have a wealth of strategic options to experiment with.

Key Features:

Bullet Heaven | Shred thousands of enemies by creating synergies with different tameable Guardians.
