Publisher Perp Games just keeps announcing intriguing looking games and today it’s developer Saona Studios' 2D action roguelite game Death or Treat, which is launching sometime this Spring on PC and consoles.

The game feature hand-painted environments alongside detailed animation work, but Saona Studios CEO Juan José Olivares said in a release that combat is king in Death or Treat:
“We put so much effort to create a dynamic combat system where you can choose between a bunch of weapons, each one with a different mechanic. There are also skills and passives that will help you defeat hordes of enemies, which makes every run a unique journey. Working with Perp is a great opportunity to polish and share Death or Treat with the world”.

London, UK, 2nd February 2023 Saona Studios and Perp Games are delighted to announce they are partnering to publish the fast-paced, 2D action-roguelite, hack and slash game Death or Treat.
Playing as Scary you must defend HallowTown from regular and corporate ghouls and save Halloween.
Working with traditional illustrators to create beautiful, ‘Halloween’ inspired hand painted environments and incredibly detailed animations, HallowTown looks stunning with each location having its own unique look and vibe.
“We put so much effort to create a dynamic combat system where you can choose between a bunch of weapons, each one with a different mechanic. There are also skills and passives that will help you defeat hordes of enemies, which makes every run a unique journey. Working with Perp is a great opportunity to polish and share Death or Treat with the world”. Said Juan José Olivares, CEO Saona Studios.
“Death or Treat is a stunning looking game that has so much detail and depth to the gameplay.
