Independent Studio Engineer is crafting a soul-like action game with RPG elements titled VELASTER. The development team has shared multiple gameplay clips and screenshots to give fans a glimpse of the project’s direction (VG Times).
The setting of the game is a bleak, mythic world that blends angels, demons and humans. Players will follow a lone protagonist as they battle swarms of terrifying creatures and endure harsh environments.
The game offers three distinct character classes: a knight who fights with a one-handed sword and shield, a dual-wielding warrior, and a formidable soldier wielding a hammer. The developers stress a hardcore combat system and the presence of challenging boss encounters that test players across different playstyles.
The exact release date for VELASTER has not yet been confirmed, but the team aims to launch the game in early access later in the year. A Steam page exists for ongoing updates and community discussions (VG Times).
- Dark Souls 3 was demonstrated with an isometric camera, prompting comparisons to an animated thumbnail style (VG Times).
- A Dark Souls-inspired Viking action RPG has arrived on Steam, featuring high praise and Unreal Engine 4 visuals (VG Times).
- For dedicated Dark Souls fans, there is an expensive Nameless King figurine featuring a glowing weapon (VG Times).
In summary, VELASTER promises a harsh, atmospheric experience that challenges players with strategic combat, boss battles, and a world rich in mythic lore. As development continues, fans are watching for more gameplay reveals and a clearer timeline for early access and subsequent updates (VG Times).
