Beast and Cleaver is a 2D open-world adventure where tactical combat and monster hunting define your journey. As the Hanging City's hired hunter , your mission is to track and defeat mythical creatures, uncover the secrets of their unique spawning conditions, and use their materials to strengthen both yourself and the city. Every successful hunt expands the Hanging City , unlocking new merchants, potions, and character customizations to aid your next battle. A World Shaped by the Hunt Venture through six distinct biomes —from the frozen peaks of the Snow Mountains to the infernal depths of The Flames —each home to unique creatures with their own behaviors, weaknesses, and environmental triggers. Learning how and where to summon them is just as important as the fight itself. Fast-Paced Tactical Combat Combat is quick, skill-based, and unforgiving. Use dashes, rolls, wall slides, and precise strikes to stay alive while taking down formidable foes like wyverns, gorgons, yetis, and other mythological beasts. Every battle requires careful positioning and mastery of movement to outmaneuver deadly attacks. The Hanging City – Your Home & Arsenal As you hunt, the Hanging City evolves. Turn in rare materials and slay biome specific bosses to unlock new potions and merchants, making each hunt more efficient. This living, growing hub serves as your base of operations, rewarding your dedication with tons of character customization to look swaged out while battling the deadliest beasts.
