Press release:
April 10, 2026 | Kaosrio is thrilled to announce that Ricochet Raven, the fast-paced side-scrolling roguelike where deflecting enemy projectiles is the only way to attack, launches into Early Access on April 21st.

Master the art of the parry, chain dashes and mid-air deflections into devastating combos, and watch the chaos unfold as projectiles ricochet across the screen in explosions of colour.

Key Features

Deflect or die: The only way to attack is to send enemy projectiles straight back at them
Chain and dash: Jump by deflecting mid-air or dashing through destructibles
Dynamic deflection: The harder you hit, the more carnage you create
Upgrade feathers: Unlock abilities and carve out your own playstyle
Roguelike replayability: Fast paced side-scrolling action with a run that never plays the same way twice

Early Access Launch Content

Ricochet Raven launches into Early Access with 7 enemy types, 1 environment, a boss encounter, and 20 feather upgrades to unlock. Kaosrio plans to keep building on this foundation, with planned additions including more boss encounters, new environments, additional feathers and special zones that shake up the standard gameplay throughout Early Access.
