Red Dev Studio, an up-and-coming game developer from Poland, had confirmed that their game Down To Hell will launch in Steam Early Access on 18th April.
Down To Hell
is 2D slasher game with challenging difficulty and unique style
inspired by metal music. The game will go through Early Access period in
episodic format: after the first episode premieres next Thursday, next
episode is scheduled to come in 2-3 months release window.
Down To Hell
is a game with a heavy metal heart. It’s inspired by the best elements
of Metroidvania conventions, but it’s also a 2D answer to the
combo-heavy fight style of such games as Devil May Cry and brutal
difficulty of Souslike genre.
All
of the experience is enhanced by the grim, but evocative art style,
inspired covers of metal albums, the darkest of dark fantasy and classic
references such as legendary manga Berserk. The dark atmosphere is
punctuated by a truly metal soundtrack. Decapitated and KORONAL are onboard with their music, with more renown metal bands joining the score soon.
The game will be published in episodic format on Steam, with Switch and possibly other platforms to come.
The
Early Access version of the game will be priced at 9,99 USD/EUR. The
first episode offers up to three hours of high-octane action including
four spectacular boss battles. Later this year Red Dev Studio will also
unveil details of a Switch version of the game.
