A multiplayer arcade dungeon crawler by the name of Hack, Slash & Backstab has appeared on the Xbox Store. Part of ID@XBOX’s Summer 2016 line-up, Hack, Slash & Backstab is brought to us by MAGIC Spell Studios, an unknown independent studio with various Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight titles.
According to its Xbox Store description, Hack, Slash & Backstab is a 1 – 4 Player Couch Co-Op Dungeon crawler that pits players against a dungeon teeming with evil creatures. Players collect powerful items, perform special attacks, and fight boss monsters in a quest to find the portal that will let them leave the dungeon. The catch is…only one of them can escape. Players will battle one another to be the one who survives, but making the mistake of betraying your “friends” too soon may cost you your life. Hack, Slash & Backstab – where the dungeon is dark, and your friends aren’t friendly.
Hack, Slash & Backstab is slated to release on August 31st, 2016. For more information, check out the trailer below.
