Steam has a page for the recently announced Slavic action role-playing game Niello, set in an alternate 9th‑century Russia. The page showcases screenshots, game details, and even system requirements, giving players a clear sense of what to expect from this bold new adventure.
In Niello, players who take on the role of a Black warrior will traverse fantasy locations drawn from Slavic myth and confront a variety of monsters. Combat invites a flexible approach: melee weapons, magic, protective amulets, and powerful artifacts can be mixed to create a build that fits a player’s individual style, whether focused on brute force, cunning spellwork, or a blend of both.
The game blends elements from Metroidvania, Soulslike experiences, and traditional RPG mechanics, offering a modern take on classic role-playing with exploration, challenging battles, and meaningful character progression. Release is planned for spring 2023 on Steam, with support for Russian and English languages to reach a broad audience.
