Fatal Claw Wiki

This wiki is a fan-built guide to Fatal Claw, the 2D action Metroidvania from NDEV GAMES, published by Com2us Holdings. Version 1.0 launched on Steam on 26 August 2026 at 07:00 UTC after Early Access opened on 18 November 2025. It is a Windows single-player game with full controller support and a Steam Deck Playable rating. It is single-player only. The list price is $24.99, with a 20 percent introductory discount until 9 September 2026. Steam lists 51 achievements. All-time reviews sit at Very Positive, about 90 percent of 177 reviews (late August 2026). Older lines that said 92 percent of 154 were an earlier snapshot.

You play as Kisha, a cat resurrected by his ancestors. Official copy frames the run around four jobs: find the key to the surface, rescue survivors, absorb power from infected enemies, and complete the ultimate weapon named Fatal Claw. The underground is a ruined kingdom where Ancients and Commoners once lived together. Origin Laboratory lore also names Kannir and King Odz in connection with the sealed surface. Pages here use region names from official teasers and patch notes. They do not treat old-wiki inventions as real places, and they will not invent a complete official boss roster or a tidy three-ending label the game does not use.

How to use this wiki

Open the Walkthrough Hub when you want a route instead of a lore dump. Brand-new players should start with Getting Started: the stained-glass opening, healing as a combat resource, Carox (the Cat Radar Codex), Cabitz stones, and the fact that the map is available from the first rooms of Origin Laboratory. When you are ready for a region-by-region path, use the full walkthrough. The world is nonlinear. Blink, glide, wall climb, Lyani’s Claws, and the 1.0 Silver Chain in Aphotic Marsh all open rooms you walked past earlier.

Ending structure is easy to get wrong on the open web. Fatal Claw is not a simple Bad, Good, and True trio. Credits can roll, then an epilogue continues. The Stone of Narrative tracks objectives, and some of those objectives conflict. Extra cycles, blue afterglow walls, and memory fragments belong on Endings and New Game Plus, not in a spoiler-free first hour.

Combat systems in one pass

Mutated Abilities are Kisha’s own kit. Confirmed names include Blink, glide (you can grab walls while gliding), wall climb, Lyani’s Claws, Silver Chain, Snaga’s Lightning Chain, Reien’s Covenant, Extermination Protocol, and Boundless Focus. Claw Trees offer Retrieve Photoenergy Boost and Blink Attack Boost. Exact hit points, cooldowns, and drop rates are not published here unless a patch states them.

Engraved Skills are absorbed from infected enemies. Mana charges by attacking, so standing still starves your specials. Cabitz are charm stones in a Jibbitz-inspired slot system. Named Cabitz include Half Salvation Stone, Traditional Royal Whetstone, Prepared Strike, Dotiman’s Token, and Heart of the Black Curse. Older labels such as Sage’s Moonstone, Spirit Bead Rosary, and Sacred Flame of Life were renamed in patches. Loadout notes live on the Abilities Hub.

Healing is not a side habit. It is a core combat resource. After bosses, owl statues restore HP. Stone Warp handles fast travel. Accessibility and difficulty sliders exist; use them instead of grinding invented recommended levels. Carox fills the map as you walk. You can place map markers and drones when a room is messy.

Regions, bosses, and honest gaps

Official regions include Origin Laboratory and Upper Origin Laboratory, Lower Moss Cave (Jibanam Trees and the Jibanam Tribe), Strigine Quarry, Black Canyon, Higasha Tundra with Tenshukaku Interior and Wolf Gate, Lower and Upper Elord Castle (Stone of Immortality Chamber, King’s Authority), Jayma’s Dungeon (King Examu and seals), Kannir Belt and Kannir Drilling Site (Kannir liquid is toxic; Kannic is solid currency), Isaac Manor, Mirror Chamber, Elord Castle Grand Square, Aphotic Marsh (1.0 black sludge, Sorr traces, Silver Chain), and the Shrine of Ancestors. The Map Hub is the index.

Named bosses in community reports and patches include Ortrinde (floating blades; a Blink-plus-downward-attack camera bug was fixed), Irbes (phase-two copies can clump), Nagaraja (corpse and lore), and Enma, the Golden Spirit Wolf. That list is not a complete official count. See the Bosses Hub for what is actually documented.
