In Celebration of Violence is a fantasy action roguelike that combines exploration with intense combat. The game demands a strategic approach to fighting, requiring players to carefully plan their attacks, dodges, blocks, and parries while taking into account both their opponents and the environment. Death is permanent, but players can enhance their stats and purchase items to assist in future attempts. If the challenge becomes overwhelming, up to four local friends can join in as player-controlled monsters, zombies, and bandits to aid the hero.
