Gothic Metroidvania ‘The Last Faith’ Arrives This October for PC, Consoles [Trailer]

Published

on

Publisher Playstack and developer Kumi Souls Games have announced that their pixel-based gothic Metroidvania The Last Faith will be joining the crowed October schedule this year via a new trailer. In addition, the game will be having a limited beta test later this summer, which you can sign up for via the game’s official website.

Taking a cue from Blasphemous (which sees its sequel coming this August) and its mix of Metroidvania and Soulslike gameplay, The Last Faith is described as brutal but always empowering. You play as Eryk, a man who awakens with no recollection of his immediate past. Eryk soon discovers that he’s in a race against time as his mind and conscience begins to deteriorate. His desire for salvation from this affliction sets him on a cursed mission that crosses paths with ancient religions and divinities.

Also like Blasphemous, The Last Faith will have players dodging enemy attacks and observing openings for the proper time to strike. You’ll have at your disposal a formidable arsenal of melee weapons, arcane spells, and long-range firearms to allow you to carve a path in the game your own way.

The Last Faith is currently in development for release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.

Kickstarter Goal Achieved for Video Game Adaptation of ‘Lady Death’ Comic With ‘Lady Death Demonicron’

Lady Death fans will be getting a video game to call their own. Franchise creator Coffin Comics has announced that Lady Death Demonicron, a canonical beat-em-up video game in the Lady Death universe, has been funded on Kickstarter and is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of developer Art of Play Games.

With Lady Death Demonicron, the Lady Death franchise marks its 30th anniversary, which began way back in 1994 (though the character first appeared back in 1991). The Kickstarter for Lady Death Demonicron launched just three days ago, and has already reached its goal of $150,000 USD, with the campaign on until May 24.

“We’re excited to handcraft the next chapter of Lady Death in video game form with the creator of Lady Death Brian Pulido and his incredible team,” says Ash Nicholls, Director at Art of Play. “It’s time for Lady Death to conquer the video game space with the leadership of Art of Play,” says creator Brian Pulido. “Demonicron is true to Lady Death’s savage spirit. I can’t wait for players around the world to get their hands on it.”

Lady Death Demonicron will centre on Lady Death (naturally), who just wishes to mourn her friend in peace. Unfortunately, a horde of demonic enemies has swarmed the cemetery gates. These malevolent forces hound Lady Death between realms, invoking a hunt through alternate realities that bring forth a sinister mystery. Poised to help is Ravenheart, a haunted swordsman prepared to accompany Lady Death through these ominous realms in search of answers to a convoluted mystery.

In Demonicron, players will move through hand-drawn environments, accessing the heroine’s lethal sword skills, destructive magic, and strong intuition. You’ll be able to upgrade your kit as you battle through the beat-em-up’s 15 levels, earning new swords and uncovering brutal finishers to slay a path to victory.
