Heute ist der rasante Roguelite-Platformer ScourgeBringer offiziell erschienen und beendet damit sein Early Access.
Khyra, die Protagonistin von ScourgeBringer, schlägt sich springend und Gegnerleichen hinter sich lassend durch die dystopische Zukunft des Roguelite-Platformers. Effektiv trifft in ihm ein Spiel ähnlich wie Celeste auf ein Action-Roguelite wie Dead Cells und verbindet dies mit halsbrecherischen Luftkämpfen. Heute hat ScourgeBringer erfolgreich seine Early Access-Phase abgeschlossen und ist in der Version 1.0 für den PC und die Nintendo Switch erschienen.
Der parallel erschienene Launch-Trailer feiert diesen Meilenstein als animierter, überraschend brutal daher kommendes Cinematic, in dem Khyra sich durch eine Vielzahl von Gegnern schnetzelt und trotz beeindruckenden Vorgehens hier und da das Zeitliche segnet. Anders als das Cinematic setzt ScourgeBringer selbst auf einem Pixelart-Stil für seine Grafik.
