In this bewitching sequel to the original award-winning rogue-like dungeon crawler produced by Supergiant Games, players must battle beyond the Underworld to vanquish the Titan of Time.

The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like roguelike dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
