Dark fantasy roguelike action game Cursemark will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on June 8 for $14.99, publisher Mad Mushroom and developer CLYDE Games announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Mad Mushroom:
About
In Cursemark players employ intense melee and spellcasting skills to hack, slash, and cast their way through a pixel art world brimming with secrets. With a wide array of weapons and skills across 7 schools of magic and an extensive system of runes that can change the way any and every skill performs, build variety is nearly endless and no roguelike run is the same.
The Unknown lands beckon: a hand-drawn haven of secrets, danger, and power. Players forge their path and build in each run, clearing tiles on the map and optimizing their build by taking advantage of points of interest that unlock new abilities, expand and upgrade their power, and buff their character. But at a cost: with each tile cleared the cursemark tightens, raising enemy difficulty over time.
Players looking for a taste of this world and its brutality can try the Cursemark demo on Steam ahead of launch.
