Death Kumiai and Flashlight Games launched Annihilated, a roguelite deckbuilder RPG, on PC via Steam on 10 November 2026 for $16.99 (€17.25).
A 10% launch discount applies for the first two weeks. You play the last survivor of a rescue party sent after a missing hero’s party, which vanished deep in a cursed dungeon. You can carry only one party member back out.
You choose from the Hero, who lost the ability to speak, the Mage, who lost the gift of magic, and the Warrior, who lost his mighty body. A fourth partner is also on offer. The story has four routes, each with multiple endings.
Break your weapons on purpose
Weapons hit hardest on their last use, so shattering them deliberately often pays. Stagger an enemy, then land a weapon’s final use to trigger a Fatal Strike, which kills it instantly and steals its equipment.
Every broken item leaves a Curse. Spend one to “Defy” fate and undo a bad roll. If you die, you restart from the floor where you fell. Battles can be timing-based or probability-based.
What’s in the package
- 200,000+ words of branching story, about six hours per route
- 100+ weapons and items
- 400+ hand-drawn illustrations
- Text in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese
Death Kumiai is a four-person team, and Annihilated is its first game after nearly four years of development. An announcement in June set the launch for 22 July, and the date later moved to 10 November.
According to Flashlight Games, the demo holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam. It covers the first boss fight, against The Outcast, and its save data carries over to the full game.
Another roguelite RPG, NEVERWAKE, went live on Steam on 9 November. The 27-track soundtrack by composer NINOMIYA Yuji is also on Steam, with a further 10% off when bundled with the game.
