Ravenswatch – Merlin is a DLC that introduces the legendary wizard Merlin as a playable hero in the acclaimed action roguelike Ravenswatch. Awakened after centuries of imprisonment, Merlin faces the encroaching Nightmare with unparalleled mastery over the arcane. With his clairvoyance gone but his magical power intact, players can explore a versatile, spell-driven playstyle that transforms every battle into a tactical challenge.
As Merlin, you gain access to nine unique spells, each offering a different way to control the battlefield. Summon towering brambles, hurl fireballs and lightning, summon frost orbs, heal allies, blind enemies, or teleport across the arena. These abilities, combined with the Power Rune system, encourage strategic thinking: each spell cast generates runes that can amplify effects, creating rewarding opportunities for skillful combos.
The DLC also allows for deep character customization. Players can select from multiple ultimates and talents, shaping Merlin into a crowd-control specialist, a supportive caster, or a high-damage spellcaster. Alongside gameplay, new cosmetic options let you personalize the archmage’s appearance with exclusive outfits and skins, making each run feel distinct.
Beyond gameplay, Merlin’s story expands the world of Ravenswatch. Fully voiced pages of his memoirs and unique dialogue interactions provide deeper insight into the wizard’s history and his place among the Ravenswatch heroes. This narrative layer adds context and immersion, enhancing the overall roguelike experience.
