About This Game
The Black Pyramid is summoning warriors from across time. Conan has answered the call.
Conan: The Black Pyramid is an action roguelike RPG fusing sword-and-sorcery with cosmic horror elements. Fight solo or join forces with a friend in two-player online co-op. Each adventure reshapes your build, allowing you to leverage randomness to your advantage and return with new powers to continue challenging the darkness.
Step into Conan's World—and Beyond
Explore distant realms within Robert E. Howard's shared universe, controlling iconic heroes like Conan, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes on their adventures. Delve into the eerie halls of the Black Pyramid—a place fraught with dangers that transcend the laws of space and time. Confront the shadows of these heroes themselves, gradually piecing together the dark secrets hidden in their pasts.
Conquer the Black Pyramid
Choose your own path through this ever-shifting labyrinth, exploring ancient ruins, crumbling kingdoms, and mysterious temples from different eras. Slay nightmarish monsters, ferocious beasts, and bloodthirsty cultists, and face off against powerful bosses guarding each level of the Black Pyramid.
Each adventure brings new routes, combat possibilities, and story events, bringing you closer to the truth: Who summoned you here?
Show No Mercy to Enemies
Choose from five distinct characters, blending powerful melee attacks, precise swordplay, ranged firearm shooting, and magical assaults into devastating combos. Dodge danger and use well-timed parries to stagger enemies, followed by brutal execution moves; or weaken foes gradually with dangerous status effects. Flexibly switch weapons and relics to adapt your strategy to different combat situations and outsmart your opponents.
Forge Your Hero
Each character has multiple "Warrior Memories" to uncover. Each memory comes with a unique combination of weapons and abilities that can completely transform your playstyle. Shape your build with ancient artifacts that grant new devastating effects, introduce fresh combat mechanics, and even save your life at the brink of death. Combine these artifacts with upgradable "Combat Mastery" skills to create your invincible warrior. Every attempt makes you stronger—level up your hero and use Awakening Stones to unlock permanent upgrades.
As you search the pyramid for gear that best suits your build, you'll also collect dice that increase the chance of obtaining high-quality loot. You can invest more dice to improve results and unlock immediate bonus rewards, or save them for later moments with higher stakes.
Face Horror Together
Fight alone or team up with a friend in 2-player online co-op to battle the nightmares within the pyramid. Embark on an adventure together, earning individual rewards and retaining personal progression. Experiment with different character and build combinations, fighting side by side with your partner to overwhelm your foes.
