Solo developer Nikola Todorovic has announced his brand-new horror roguelike game Mortal Sin which is played in first-person. Mortal Sin is slated for release on PC via Steam later this year and it featured monster-infested dungeons where you hack and slash limbs in order to survive. The game features a unique, gritty graphic-novel-inspired art style where you must dodge traps, take out enemies, open chests and discover powerful upgrades, and more. In Mortal Sin, death is never the end, it is only the beginning.
Sticking to the roguelike mechanics, each time you jump in the game, you will explore procedurally generated levels ensuring that no playthrough is the same in this dark and twisted game. The unique art style of the game and the first-person view gives a much darker look to the game and as you approach dark corners, surprise attacks await you along with unexpected scares. During your playthrough, you will be equipped with just your sword and your wits however you can avoid traps, kill enemies and pick up loot to find and equip more powerful equipment.
For surviving in the game, you will need to be really quick on your feet and utilize the game’s deep combo system to chop down everything that comes your way. In Mortal Sins, the sinister forces have trapped you in an endless cycle and you will need to use everything in your power to survive. Each time you start after a death, you will have an increased chance of finding precious items, more powerful combos, and secrets leading to even more powerful items. You will eventually unlock permanent bonuses as well which will make your starts much more manageable in the game.
Mortal Sin features over 20-30 hours of content and because of this, the game rewards players for exploring the world around them. Key features of the game include:
- Weapon-based melee combat featuring: slashes, thrusts, kicks, bashes, dashes, parries, spells and a deep combo system to tie it all together.
- Rewards that unlock as players progress through the game. Collecting these rewards can greatly change future runs.
- Numerous character builds and playstyles to experiment with and randomized loot and passive skills to find.
- Procedurally generated levels with enemies, rooms and traps randomized every playthrough.
- Psychedelic graphic novel-inspired visuals in a dark horror fantasy setting.
- Secret portals and challenge orbs provide players with powerful bonuses at the cost of having to take on increasingly difficult challenges.
- Unlock the Trial of Resolve by completing the game’s first area and gain the opportunity to get powerful passive skills but beware, the trial is a very challenging battle.
Mortal Sin will release on PC via Steam and a Steam page is now live where you can add the game to your Wishlist to follow up for additional updates. The developer will share additional details about the game in the coming weeks.
