Creators of ‘Alder’s Blood’ Announce ‘Divine Comedy’-Inspired RPG, ‘Nadir’

Published

Shockwork Games, the minds behind Alder’s Blood, have something new in the works for those wondering if you could make a game based on Dante’s Divine Comedy. Currently at the beginning of a Kickstarter campaign, Nadir is described as “an infernal, roguelike jRPG”, and will be headed to Steam and GOG.com, as well as the Nintendo Switch.

Nadir sees you control a team of three powerful, yet extremely blemished, characters, each representing one of the deadly sins. Your goal is to try to escape the seemingly endless, multi-layered eponymous city, which contains different themes, enemies, and challenges.

The title features procedurally-generated maps “burning of infernal fire” and inspired “with the deepest influence” from Dante’s Divine Comedy, and features fast-paced combat with lots of abilities and special effects, terrifying enemies, a Sin-City inspired art style, and modding support.

As mentioned, the Kickstarter campaign is still being prepped, so keep an eye out for it. In the meantime, you can check out the teaser trailer below.

The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
  • Improvements to castle building, decor, and storage
