SlashZero

SlashZero is a 3D anime-style side-scrolling action roguelike. As a Timehacker you travel across cyberpunk timelines, chain aerial combos, build your run from Blessings, Upgrade Chips and Temporal Fragments, and hunt the Lord of the Void, HIEROS-I.

Story

The Timehackers operate from Fortune Chip, Rui's bar in the timeless Null Void. From there they dive into fractured timelines — the gang-ruled streets of Sector 7, the Sewers, City Park, the Tranquil Forest and the Land of Terminus — to recover the seven Keys of the Authorities and stop HIEROS-I, Lord of the Void.

The Lore Archive collects every document, Information Disc and character intel entry from the game.

Gameplay loop

  1. Pick a Timehacker — Nyx (Assassin), Fina (Gunner), Hamlet (Tank) in the demo.
  2. Equip Upgrade Chips at Fortune Chip to unlock new moves and passives (63 chips).
  3. Route through Chambers — every door shows its reward (Chambers).
  4. Collect Blessings from 5 Authorities, then fuse them into Dual Blessings (89 total).
  5. Grab Temporal Fragments from Elite zones for run-changing effects (33).
  6. Beat the region boss, push your Sync level and progress the story (Bosses, Sync).
  7. Return to the hub to build facilities, unlock Talents and complete Challenges.
