Empyreal, an acrobatic and pensive action-RPG developed by Silent Games and Secret Mode, is set to launch on 8th May. A demo is still available on Steam for those interested in trying it out. The game features unique elements that have caught the attention of many gamers.
One notable aspect of Empyreal is the design of its damage number pop-ups, which some find to be oddly thin compared to the character models and environments. Despite this minor flaw, the game’s four biomes, each representing different philosophical principles, have received praise for their visual appeal. These biomes, housed within a massive alien Monolith, offer players a chance to explore and engage with ancient robots while uncovering the mysteries of a lost civilization.
The combat in Empyreal is reminiscent of other recent games like Eternal Strands, offering players a variety of weapons and spells to use against enemies. Unlike some similar titles, Empyreal features hand-crafted environments that can be altered using items called Cartograms. These items influence the types of enemies and loot players encounter, adding a strategic element to the gameplay.
While Empyreal offers some online functionality, the core experience is single-player focused. Players can interact with NPCs at their base outside the Monolith, each with their own questline and multiple endings. This narrative depth adds another layer of engagement to the game.
If you’re intrigued by Empyreal and want to learn more or try the demo, you can find it on Steam. Dive into this exciting world and unravel the mysteries hidden within the alien Monolith.
