Free to playBorn Again Die, grow stronger, repeat
Born Again is a pixel-art hack-and-slash where you and co-op friends roam an open realm as ronin, cut through monsters and Overlords, and grab loot that changes your look and your next fight. Death is permanent, but Honor carries over, so every lost ronin makes the next one stronger.
Is Born Again worth it?
Born Again is worth it if…
- you like co-op friends and shared boss runs in an open world
- you like pixel-art hack-and-slash with loot and build mixing
- you like permadeath runs where each death feeds the next life

Team up in the open realm
You join friends in the same open areas and take on tricksters, beasts, and kings that would be rough alone. You hack, dodge, and loot side by side, with classes like stealthy assassin, barbaric warrior, or archer holding back to support. When a Mythic drops, everyone sees who earned it. Dying together still stings, just less than dying alone.
Die, keep Honor, dress better
Every ronin dies for good, losing level and carried gear, while stored items carry on and Honor builds a stronger next life. You mix class, equipment, and blessings for odd combinations, and each weapon, armor piece, hat, and pet companion changes how you look. Progress through T1 to T3 bosses, learn their patterns, and start the dynasty over with better odds.
Good to know before you team up?
Can you play it with friends?
Yes. You cooperate with new or existing friends in the open realms and work together to beat foes meant to be too hard alone, which suits short shared sessions around bosses and loot.
What happens when your ronin dies?
Honor from past lives carries forward to strengthen future ronin, and items left in storage stay available, so the loss still moves you forward.
How do builds work?
You pick a class and combine it with looted equipment and blessings, with up to six blessings at once. Gems dropped from mid-bosses fill out a skill chart, and shrines grant further blessings, so support, stealth, or brute force are all on the table.
