Metroidvania Dating Sim ‘Romancelvania’ to Woo Players During Steam Fall Next Fest [Trailer]
It’s been a long while since we last talked about The Deep End Games’ darkly comic dating action game Romancelvania. Not only has the game made it to Steam, it’s making an appearance during the Steam Fall Next Fest this week with a new playable demo.
A mix of classic Metroidvania gameplay and dating sims, Romancelvania sees you play as the legendary playboy (or playgirl) vampire himself (or herself), Drac, as you battle and romance your way across Transylvania. It seems the Grim Reaper himself has gotten Drac to sign up and star in a “reality dating show,” with the mission to find the world’s most eligible monsters, get them to move into Drac’s party mansion, and restore the Count’s former glory by killing everything in your path in the process.
As you’d expect, one moment you’ll be hacking and slashing your way through a stage, encountering absurd monsters and discovering new weapons, powerups and abilities, and then in the next you’ll be romancing one of the eligible monsters in the game.
There’s no release date as of yet for Romancelvania, which is also aiming for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch. But just like love, good things come to those who wait.
Steam Fall Next Fest takes place October 3rd – 10th.
A year after its initial release on PC, Red Hook Studios will finally be bringing Darkest Dungeon II to the PlayStation. The base game, as well as the “The Binding Blade” DLC and the Oblivion bundle which contains the base game and DLC – will be available as cross-buy across PlayStation 4 and 5 on July 15th. Pre-orders are now available.
“We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players,” said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. [The original] Darkest Dungeon was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel.”
As mentioned, in addition to the base game (which we reviewed here), “The Blinding Blade” DLC will also be available on PlayStation. The expansion sees players face off against The Warlord, a new roaming mini-boss to encounter on your journey to the Mountain in Darkest Dungeon II. The DLC also adds two new playable heroes in The Duelist and The Crusader, complete with a special unlock quest for the Crusader, unique trinkets, signature items and fully voiced backstories, including playable flashback encounters.
Darkest Dungeon II is available now on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
