Aksun
A hack & slash roguelite rooted in Korean shamanism. Descend to the dark shadows of Aksun, chain hundreds of elemental artifacts and abilities into devastating reactions, and break the cursed cycle.
Descend Into the Seal of Aksun
Aksun is a Hack & Slash roguelite with deep buildcraft and brutal, deliberate combat, all steeped in Korean shamanic folklore and the Six Realms of Life, known as Samsara. You are trapped within the Casket — a cursed device forged to imprison the will of chaos and those who follow the monstrous prophet, King Mokdu. Every run drives you deeper into a cycle of memory, suffering, and rebirth, handing you new weapons and corrupted artifacts to engrave and master.
Engrave Your Power
At the heart of Aksun lies the engraving of Legendary Artifacts. Each build takes shape across several interconnected systems:
Weapons — bound to Wardens of Ordeal, they define your combat identity and unlock powerful Awakening and Final Awakening skills.
Legendary Artifacts (30) — corrupted relics whose abilities you unlock by spending Echoes to Engrave them, working toward a full Revelation: the central pursuit of every run.
Common Artifacts (60+) — stack and duplicate to reinforce and mutate your stats.
Spells, Dash, and weapon skills — chain together with your engraved artifacts to complete the core of each build.
Read Your Enemies
Not every foe falls the same way. Most stagger under your blows, so you press forward and carve through them — but Fiends never flinch. To break one you must read its rhythm and answer with a Counter Spell, a clean parry that turns its assault into your opening. Fast and ferocious, yet always asking you to think between the blows.
A Branching Descent
Each chapter is a branching node map of meaningful choices — from weapon upgrades to artifact Engravings and Revelations — all set in a world rich with the spiritual beliefs and mythology of Korea.
