Roots of Fury
This couch co-op Hack and Slash RPG lets you play as a scientist who shrunk herself to battle swarms of insects threatening the roots of her plants. Team up with an ant hive that serves as your base — craft weapons, plan your attacks, and fight through an action-packed underground world.
Roots of Fury is a game where the tiniest warriors face epic battles! Take on an extraordinary journey where strategy, adventure, and innovation collide in a world hidden beneath our feet.
The Game
Roots of Fury is an action role playing game. You are a brilliant but eccentric scientist that made a breakthrough in the field of plant genetics. When bureaucracy starts taking to long, you decide to take matters into your own hands and use your own back yard to test your newest creation. The test is a great success. Maybe even too great of a success! Because the plants weren't the only thing that evolved. Yes, we're talking about those pesky insects. The only reasonable thing to do is to shrink yourself down to their size and bring the fight to them!

Each character has strength, dexterity, vitality, intelligence, and wisdom. Depending on which class you choose your stats are different, and the character has a special ability. For example, the medical doctor has an advantage on healing.
Ants
Ants are the characters companions. They have their own action set and are not controlled by the character. They can attack enemies or help the character carry things back to the Hive.
Collect experience points and materials to upgrade and evolve your army of ants, creating a powerful force capable of tackling even the most daunting of challenges.
While exploring dungeons you will experience different biomes, such as a fire land, grassland, barren land, water land, chemical waste land and so on.

Hive
Grow your ant colony by expanding the hive. The hive is your base of operations. Everything you need from ant companions, to levelling up your abilities and crafting your gear happens here. You start with a basic ant hive with one queen and a few worker ants.
Develop essential rooms such as the Lab, Farm, Armoury, Queen's Chamber, and Botanical Gardens. Each room plays a crucial role in your colony's growth, weapons and ant upgrades, and new abilities to aid in your defence.
Craft
Equip yourself with an arsenal of weapons, meticulously crafted or looted from formidable foes. Each weapon offers unique attributes, enhancing your strategic approach to combat.
When you defeat an enemy, they might drop a body part. With that body part you can craft a new equipment.
