About ZIX

The Cauldron combines blessings from three worlds into trials with tradeoffs such as doubled healing but no revival. Two triggers and gestures control dashes, leaps, wall-runs, blocks and weapon throws. Upgrades can transform actions themselves: a thrown blade can teleport you to its impact in a fiery area blast, arrows can split into seeking projectiles, and dashes can become explosions.

What makes it worth a look?

  • Rituals can turn enemy tombstones into turrets, summon an unstoppable contact-killing beast, or enable friendly fire with only one player allowed to escape.
  • Play alone or with two fellow Acolytes across supported platforms. Revive allies unless a selected ritual disables that ability.
