The Lords of Death have returned and with the green, fertile lands of the overworld under siege it’s up to you to take the fight beneath the earth.

A strategic dungeon crawler that rewards character switching, elemental counters and crowd control, MetaMorph challenges you to best a series of increasingly difficult dungeons filled with fire imps, vengeful wisps and hulking golems.
Solve the ‘puzzle’ of each encounter by choosing which spirit forms to take into battle and morph between them at will to counter enemies of all shapes and sizes. Plan your attack and react on the fly as you combine strategy with twitch skills to decimate opponents and reclaim your land from the Lords of Death.”
