The creators of the QWOP-inspired game "Double Hitler" are back with another colorful entry titled "Slasher's Keep."
Described as a first-person roguelike, a game where players make their way across procedurally generated dungeons and often rely on turn-based combat, "Slasher's Keep's" gameplay teaser was first uploaded on Damien Schloter, the game developer's YouTube channel on Nov. 25.
A little over 20 seconds long, the video shows the protagonist slashing their way through enemies and collecting loot as they make their way across a colorful first-person dungeon filled with both enemies, items, and gold to pillage. The game is currently in early access and already has a Steam page available for viewing. Here is the game's official synopsis:
"You have been imprisoned and left to rot in the depths of Slasher's Keep, a frightful construct towering above the forgotten forest in the remotest wilds of Ool. As rulers came and went the keep remained the final destination for the nation's most undesirable elements. Many a scoundrel has tried and failed to escape its dungeons, perilous as they are. Will you share their fate, or will you overcome the challenges ahead involving the features below?"
Following the short summary, is a list stating what players can expect from the upcoming roguelike.
Aside from procedurally generated maps that ensure each adventure is different from the last, the game promises traps and secrets for players to uncover, randomized items that grant players different stat bonuses and different abilities, dynamic melee combat, the ability to use other items such as the environment to damage one's enemies, various magic wands for ranged combat, different types of enemies to ensure combat doesn't grow stale, and a crafting system.
Aside from that, players will also have access to two playable protagonists. According to Steam, while the player starts out with two options, they will eventually be able to unlock other characters.
