It's like those magical girl animes the kids like but with way more hammers!

They are both transported to the magical world of Ragnoah, a land that is positively overrun by gigantic mechanical monsters. They must work together to find their way home, hoping against hope that they can trust one another to get the job done.Players can make use of over 200 different weapons to execute devastating melee and magical attacks as they battle their enemies. Levels are procedurally generated and can be played as a single-player experience or in co-op with a friend.
