Nacon and Chilean studio Ace Team have revealed the first look of the Clash: Artifacts of Chaos gameplay with a new trailer. The game is planned for a release later this year in November 2022.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos offers a unique blend of both player exploration and unarmed combat. You will get to develop a friendship with a frail creature to then protect it from mercenaries.
Check out the gameplay reveal trailer below:
You are Pseudo, a fighter living in the strange land of Zenozoik. Everything changes for you when you take the Boy into your care. Crush your enemies and explore a punk-fantasy setting, never forgetting the sacred rules of the Ritual. When you cross paths with the Boy, a small creature whose mysterious powers have attracted the attention of Gemini, the Mistress of the Artifacts, you decide to protect him, unaware that much greater forces are involved.
As Pseudo is confronted by strange enemies, you will have to adapt to situations and specific abilities of the opponents alternatively between various martial arts. Before you engage, you can choose to challenge the enemies using the Ritual, a board game that provides advantages or handicaps. At the end of the Ritual, the player may see their opponent’s movements limited by a chain, be forced to fight in a fog cloud, or even summon a monster as an ally.
Key Features:
- CUSTOMISE YOUR COMBAT STYLE – Learn various martial arts during your adventure and alternate freely between them based on the situation, types of enemies and your preference. Victories will enable you to improve your characteristics and upgrade your attacks, so you can develop your own unique style.
- RISE TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE RITUAL – Before fighting, you can challenge your opponent to a game of dice, with the winner defining the rules of the encounter – often to their advantage. Summoning a monster as an ally, covering the area in fog, having shackles limit movement… far from determining the outcome of the combat, the Ritual represents an opportunity to exploit if you win it or a challenge to cleverly overcome if you lose.
- EXPLORE ZENOZOIK – Drawing upon both surreal and punk fantasy influences, the world and civilisations of Zenozoik are brimming with fascinating characters, creatures and landscapes. Roam this intriguing land and discover its paths, inhabitants and ancient secrets.
- CRUSH YOUR OPPONENTS – Your fists and speed are your greatest weapons. Attack, dodge, stun, block, counter a parry to land a special attack, switch to first-person view to perform unique techniques: each time, it’s up to you to seize the occasion to achieve victory and avoid mistakes that could quickly prove fatal.
- A RICH STORYLINE – Your search for the Great Artifacts that will help you defeat Gemini will take you farther than you ever imagined. While taking on the mercenaries pursuing you and developing your friendship with the Boy, you must confront your past and delve into the sources of the chaotic society of Zenozoik.
- PASSIVE MULTIPLAYER – During the day, you can exchange messages and items with other anonymous players via a system of carrier pigeons; at night, Pseudo’s dreams come to life and, if you wish, you can play in co-op mode or PVP in a Zenozoik inhabited by creatures out of nightmare.
