What is Mad King Redemption?

Mad King Redemption is a pixel-art beat 'em up with roguelite progression from developer SECRET MISSION. Set in the corrupted kingdom of Aldermere, it sends you through randomized rooms against the Mad King's forces with four playable heroes: Valraven the balanced swordmaster, Branok the sturdy bruiser, Darkblade the fast assassin, and Elowen the ranged summoner and healer. Each hero has customisable stats and a distinct combat rhythm.

Between runs you rebuild power in the Brotherhood hub, where quest-gated NPCs such as the blacksmith Brogan and the master mage Kael sell upgrades that outlast death. Forbidden Powers hit harder but fill a Corruption Bar that ends in an Overdose Phase and a punishing crash, and the two-player campaign supports local shared-screen co-op plus Steam Remote Play Together. Our wiki gathers beginner guides, hero breakdowns, upgrade paths, boss prep, biomes, and roadmap coverage as Early Access grows.

Mad King Redemption Wiki Beginner Guide

New players start here: the core gameplay loop, class choice, ability reading, and the early habits that keep your first week in Aldermere on track.

1Read your abilities before your first real fight; every skill has a purpose, a cost, and a cooldown.
2Treat the world map as a resource: finish a region's quests, then move on to unlock fast travel and vendors.
3Pick the archetype whose moment-to-moment gameplay you enjoy, then commit instead of rerolling.
4Play the tutorial with your first pick and check which key abilities unlock early before judging the class.
5Spend ten minutes on the five core systems: class, abilities, gear, quests, and group content.
6Keep your upgrade materials for gear you will still use an hour later instead of spreading them thin.

Mad King Redemption Wiki Heroes Guide

A roster breakdown of the four playable heroes, their combat styles, and where each one shines across the corrupted biomes.

S Tier

Valraven is the balanced swordmaster with blocking, the steadiest pick for learning enemy patterns.

A Tier

Darkblade is the fast, movement-based assassin who deletes priority targets but punishes bad positioning.

B Tier

Branok is the slow, sturdy bruiser with knockout punches who forgives mistakes while you learn each room.

C Tier

Elowen is the ranged summoner and healer who is weak in melee, so invest in minions and ally sustain first.

Mad King Redemption Wiki Builds Guide

Pair heroes with Forbidden Powers and relics, and follow the build rules that carry a run past the first biome.

DamageCommit to a single damage plan instead of scattering upgrades across every stat.
PowersMatch each Forbidden Power to your hero's attack pattern rather than chasing raw numbers.
RelicsBank survivability relics before the second biome so a bad room cannot end the run.
Co-opSplit roles so one hero controls space while the other bursts down priority targets.

Mad King Redemption Wiki Boss Guide

PrepPick one hero and record the exact build you are testing before changing anything.
ObserveSpend the opening cycle watching attack tells, movement, and armor state before committing.
One ChangeAdjust a single element per attempt so you can attribute any improvement to something.
Log RunsWrite down where each attempt ended; patterns emerge after three to five runs.

Mad King Redemption Wiki Co-op Guide

Play the two-player campaign through local shared-screen or Steam Remote Play Together and keep a run from falling apart.

1Two players share one camera, so agree on who controls space and who bursts before the room starts.
2Pick heroes that cover each other: ranged plus close-range, or mobility plus bruiser.
3Call out priority targets so both players are not chasing the same enemy.
4When one player goes down, reposition and break line of sight instead of trading hits.
