Bloody Dungeon Crawler ‘Mortal Sin’ Exits Early Access, Available Now on Steam [Trailer]
If Labyrinth of the Demon King got you hungry for dungeon crawling, then Nikola Todorovic‘s stylish Mortal Sin will fill that niche. The chaotic, blood-soaked roguelike has left Early Access on Steam with its 1.0 launch, and is available with a limited-time 20% launch discount until September 12.
Mortal Sin is built around fast, visceral melee combat where every strike matters. Chain slashes, bashes, and kicks into devastating finishers as limbs fly and blood splatters everywhere. Combat thrives on momentum: move fast, hit hard, and never give your enemies a chance to breathe. Players descend into a surreal, ever-shifting nightmare of procedurally-generated levels, randomized quests, and hundreds of hand-crafted rooms to make every run feel fresh. You’ll unlock more than a dozen of classes, each with their own weapons and abilities.
Along with the blood, Mortal Sin features a comic-styled appearance for its visuals. Prefer a different look? There are multiple visual modes and color palettes for you to choose from for your nightmare.
Version 1.0 of Mortal Sin isn’t just an update, it’s a “reinvention.” Boasting a completed story, a brand-new final boss for an epic showdown, and an overhauled combat system rebuilt from the ground up that aims to deliver “the most brutal and satisfying gameplay yet.”
Here’s what to expect with the 1.0 release:
- A fully fleshed-out story that brings the brutal nightmare to its conclusion.
- An all-new final boss, setting the stage for an unforgettable endgame battle.
- Completely redesigned combat, with improved animations, controls, and responsiveness for a refined yet punishing melee experience.
- A total art redesign and improved game visuals featuring unprecedented customizability with multiple art styles and palettes to choose from.
- New enemies featuring smarter AI and reimagined movement for a more challenging combat experience.
- Brand new environments seamlessly blend with reimagined levels for a richer, more complex design.
- A deeper progression system, including numerous revamped and new, unique items, skills, and classes for endless replayability.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.

- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
