New Blip: Vagante

Vagante, from developer Nuke Nine, is a sidescrolling action-RPG with roguelike elements, including procedurally generated levels and permadeath. Players enter a monster-filled cavern in order to seek a great treasure rumored to lie within. The game offers four character classes, including a fighter, rogue, and mage, as well as unlockable customizations and the ability to team up for offline 4P co-op. Players can run, jump, swim, avoid traps, fight loads of monsters and huge bosses, and even use a grappling hook to swing around.

The game is headed to PC, Mac, and Linux, and is currently available via Steam Early Access. A demo is available on the game's official website.
