Soul Survivors, Dark-Fantasy Time Survival Roguelite, Targets Early Access Launch in Q1 2023

0

Playable demo available during Steam Next Fest 3-10 Oct.

El Dorado Hills, Ca. – 22 September 2022Soul Survivors, the dark fantasy time-survival roguelite from developer and publisher Stingbot Games, prepares for an endless assault of wicked foes on PC via Steam Early Access in Q1 2023. The first-ever playable Soul Survivors demo debuts during Steam Next Fest 3-10 Oct., with a Nintendo Switch version to follow after vanquishing Early Access.

Suit up and head into combat against waves of enemies threatening to overrun unprepared champions in the Lands of Chaos. Weave in and out of progressively more challenging foes, auto-attacking to cut a path forward and absorbing souls from felled creatures to level up and acquire powerful new abilities. Cast down legions of shambling zombies, corrupt mages, and giants in tense showdowns across richly detailed pixel-art stages.

Select one of two character classes available at Early Access launch, with 6 planned for v1.0. Charge into enemy hordes as the powerful Bogatyr, or use the realm’s undead legions as the Necromancer. In Soul Survivors, each character class features distinct active and passive abilities to provide for wildly differing playstyles. Spend hard-earned gold accrued during sessions to unlock persistent Talent Tree upgrades for different characters, boosting stats affording even more firepower in subsequent sessions.

Alter a character’s auto-attack in dynamic ways by spending experience-granting souls. Transform Bogatyr’s standard sword into an AOE-inducing hammer with the Iron Smash ability or upgrade to the Butcher’s Blade to deliver powerful overhead strikes capable of cleaving through waves of deadly foes. Experiment with different character builds across numerous runs to create the perfect champion capable of outlasting thousands of enemies and challenging malicious bosses at the end of each stage, like the hulking Flesh Golem.

Soul Survivors will debut on Steam Early Access with over 24 different enemy types and two playable stages, with content updates planned throughout its ongoing development. Brave adventurers can download a playable demo during Steam Next Fest from 3-10 October 2022.

“We are excited to share the first look at Soul Survivors with the world, and are even more thrilled to invite players to go hands-on with the game during the October Steam Next Fest,” said Sterling Selover, designer, Stingbot Games. “Soul Survivors is all about risk versus reward as you try to topple thousands of increasingly more difficult enemies and build up your character. We’re also building, and look forward to sharing even more content when Soul Survivors comes to Early Access in early 2023!”

Soul Survivors will launch on PC via Steam Early Access in Q1 2023 with English-language support. A Nintendo Switch version will debut alongside the 1.0 PC version in the future. For more information, visit the official website, follow Stingbot Games on Twitter, and wishlist Soul Survivors today.

No Place For Bravery, Brutal Action-RPG with Haunting Narrative, Storms Switch and PC Today

0

From Ysbryd Games, acclaimed publisher of VA-11 HALL-A, WORLD OF HORROR

BRASÍLIA, BRAZIL — 22 September 2022 — No Place For Bravery, the story-driven action-RPG from Glitch Factory and Ysbryd Games exploring the lengths we’d go to recapture that which we hold dear, begins a breathtaking adventure on Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC today.

A calamitous battle between almighty giants and dragons devastated the world of Dewr countless generations ago, and warring factions have arisen amidst the world’s ashes. Thorn, a former soldier, spends his days contemplating the scars and corpses piled up in his past. But when word of his long-lost daughter cuts through the voices he cannot silence, Thorn sets out on a vengeful quest to find her, convinced his blade is the answer.

Embark on a mythic journey across Dewr, a blood-soaked land of roving bandits and ruinous beauty. Deadly archers, nimble warriors, and colossal bosses stand in Thorn’s away, and a single mistimed move can spell doom. Master demanding yet rewarding stamina-based combat where decisive action can overcome Thorn’s fragile humanity. Make pixel-perfect dodges, split-second parries, and targeted strikes to satisfy Thorn’s bid for redemption.

Discover new instruments of war with weapons and items scattered across Dewr’s hand-crafted, pixel-art landscape. Survive combat arenas carved into the corpses of decaying titans. Emerge from sprawling deserts to lush grasslands where reed stalks jut forth like gravestones. Feel the weight of Thorn’s dilemmas and make dialogue choices to further stoke his blade of vengeance or bring his emotional odyssey to a very different conclusion.

“Inspired by our own experiences with parents and father figures, and as parents ourselves, Thorn’s complex and thought-provoking journey examines where protection and redemption become obsession,” said Matheus Queiroz, developer at Glitch Factory. “We’re thrilled to infuse the simple-yet-deep Soulslike genre, famous for testing your mettle and reflexes, with an equally challenging narrative straight from our hearts.”

No Place For Bravery is available now on Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC for USD 19.99, with support for English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese text at launch.
