A brand new Steam obtain appears to be like like a mixture between The Legend of Zelda and Monster Rancher, a combo I didn’t know I wished till now.
Aethermancer is an upcoming roguelite, monster taming RPG from builders Moi Rai Video games – and it simply acquired a free demo on Steam that you would be able to try proper now.
The devs describe it as a turn-based monster collector the place your monsters of selection can really perish in battle, so kind of like a Pokémon nuzlocke problem with Ultimate Fantasy-style fight.
In Aethermancer, you’ll be tasked with exploring “the ever-changing Fractured Ruins” (there’s the rougelite affect) and also you’ll need to “plan your strikes in difficult turn-based battles, and watch your Monsters develop stronger from earlier lives and defy dying” if you wish to succeed.
Whereas your monsters can and can perish in fight, at which level they are going to be completely misplaced. Nevertheless, by “rebirthing their souls”, you may create a brand new model of stated monster.
Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone will quickly enter early entry on Steam.
This can trigger them to “change within the course of”, however they’ll additionally evolve right into a stronger monster when you convey them again to life.
Form of jogs my memory of the outdated PlayStation and Sport Boy Advance Monster Rancher video games, which allowed you to merge your monsters with different monsters as soon as they have been near dying. Nicely, I’m bought based mostly on that comparability alone.
This isn’t the primary swing at a monster taming sport that builders Moi Rai Video games have taken both, as they launched the comparatively well-regarded Monster Sanctuary again in 2020 (which is presently sitting at a “Very Optimistic” rating with over 9,000 evaluations on Steam, 91% of that are optimistic).
I’m satisfied, and will already be downloading the demo for Aethermancer as we communicate. No phrase on a launch date fairly but, however the demo has already obtained glowing evaluations, so right here’s hoping it’s not lengthy off.
