A beautiful thing about the gaming industry is that if you don’t like your current position, you have the ability to strike out on your own and make something unique. The upcoming Action RPG Roguelite title Swordcery was created by the team at Temple Door Games. That group is headed up by two artists who worked on the 2018 version of God of War, and now are doing things their own way.

For those interested in what they have to offer, the game will soon hit Steam Early Access, which means you can help develop the title alongside them and ensure that any major issues or bugs are fixed. Here’s a trailer for you to gander at:

If you want a deeper dive into what the game offers, here’s a synopsis:

“The World of Armorial faces a corruption that it has never seen before, and you must wield the very swords meant to aid the chaos. As Colt, you get to decide whether to shock the system by raining down lightning or climb out of the jaws of defeat by swinging around a shark. If you don’t bring the right sword to the fight, just try again. It is up to you to gather the blades and defeat the corruption by any means necessary!”

As for the game’s features…

• Collect and Wield Spellbound Blades: Discover a huge variety of magical swords, each with unique abilities and combat styles.
• Fast-Paced Roguelike Combat: Battle through dangerous enemies and bosses using reaction-based melee combat and powerful sword abilities.
• Fight Through a World Torn Apart: Explore a colorful fantasy world devastated by the mysterious “World Rending,” where colossal blades rain from the sky.

So, ready to take up ALL THE SWORDS? Then get ready for when Swordcery drops on Steam Early Access on August 11th.
