Below the Surface

What is Fatal Claw?

Fatal Claw is a 2d hand-drawn metroidvania by NDEV GAMES, published by Com2uS Holdings and sold on PC (Steam). It left Early Access on August 26, 2026 at 07:00 UTC after a Kickstarter campaign and two Expansion Updates, and its Steam reviews sit at Very Positive — 202 of 224 on August 28. You play as Kisha, a cat resurrected by his ancestors inside the Origin Laboratory, clawing through an underground world of Ancients, Commoners and infected creatures.

This site is the data layer the game does not ship with: all 51 achievements with their unlock conditions, the 14 named regions NDEV GAMES has actually confirmed, every named boss with the source that proves it exists, and the three ability systems the store page keeps mashing into one paragraph. Where the studio has published no number, the table says so rather than filling the gap with a guess.

Fatal Claw Screenshots

Kisha facing a large horned boss in a red-lit chamber — Boss encounters fill the screen — the health pips at top-left are the whole HUD.

A snow-covered creature above frozen blue terrain — The frozen stretch of the underworld, which the achievements name Higasha Tundra.

Kisha fighting amid magenta beams in a corrupted cavern — Absorbed skills fire back as beams — the counter timing the store page describes.

A golden claw strike sweeping across armoured figures — The Golden Claw in use; obtaining it is its own achievement, King's Authority.

Get Started in 5 Steps

Separate the three ability systems. Mutated Abilities are Kisha's own, Engraved Skills are absorbed from enemies, Cabitz customises what you already have — the systems table keeps them apart.
Spend Kannium as you get it. Claw upgrades can be refunded, but only after the ending, so hoarding it for a first run buys you nothing.
Treat blocked paths as missing mutations. Water is a wall until Meditation of Jibanam; the region index flags which areas gate on what.
Upgrade Vanrion's Gate when you can. Fast travel has its own progression step, and this is a game with real backtracking.
Check your input setup first. Controller support is full; mouse binding is not available — see the controls page before you commit.

FAQ

What is Fatal Claw?

Fatal Claw is a 2D hand-drawn Metroidvania by NDEV GAMES, published by Com2uS Holdings. You play as Kisha, a cat resurrected by his ancestors, exploring an underground world of ancient ruins to find the key back to the surface. It left Early Access and hit version 1.0 on August 26, 2026.

Is Fatal Claw finished, or still in Early Access?

Finished. The 1.0 full release went live on August 26, 2026 at 07:00 UTC, after roughly a year of Early Access and two Expansion Updates. The 1.0 build adds new regions, new skills and the ending of Kisha's story.

Is Fatal Claw on Nintendo Switch, PS5 or Xbox?

Not as of August 28, 2026. Fatal Claw is a Windows PC game sold on Steam, and NDEV GAMES has not announced a console version on the Steam page, in any of its 30 Steam announcements, on fatalclaw.com, or in the official launch trailer. One games-news social post lists consoles alongside PC, but no official source repeats it.

How This Wiki Is Kept

Fatal Claw Wiki is an independent, unofficial fan resource for Fatal Claw players — not affiliated with NDEV GAMES.

How we verify: Every table on this site is built from a source that can be re-checked: the Steam achievement schema, NDEV GAMES patch notes, and the official region teasers. Where the game itself has not published a number, the row says so instead of guessing.
Update cadence: Patch notes are read the day they post, and the pages they touch get revised within 48 hours — the update ledger lists the version that triggered each revision.
What we don't do: No fake ending lists, no invented boss stats, and no walkthrough steps copied out of a video someone else recorded. Post-ending content stays behind spoiler labels.
