Colossus - Eternal Blight is now available in Early Access on Steam. The game is priced at $12.79, though currently being offered at a 20% launch discount for a limited period.
The game is set in the kingdom of Eireos, a region that's been rotting from within. This is a result of a creeping darkness known as the Blight which devours everything it touches. Making things worse is that Lance, the one man sworn to stop it, seems to have vanished without a trace.
Players take on the role of Lucian, who is Lance's brother. They're neither a legend or even a chosen hero. They're simply being a brother who refuses to give up on someone they love even as the world around them collapses into a nightmare.
It's All Skills
When it comes to fights, it's not just about positioning but also timing and even adaptability. Players for example can parry a blow at the last moment or counter with a fluid combo. They can also dash through an opening or possibly use the environment itself to turn the tide.
That's not all since the game also has players switch freely between a varied arsenal where each weapon can change the rhythm of how they fight. It's important to remember that button-mashing can get one killed but mastery can set them free.
Exploring a Dying World
Colossus - Eternal Blight invites players to explore a hand-crafted world. They can go on a journey across a beautifully animated pixel art world that's inspired by classic JRPGs. Along the way they can discover hidden treasures, solve Zelda-style puzzles, explore ancient ruins, and visit tightly-knit towns spread across four distinct regions of Eireos.
Face the Blight
In the game, the Blight isn't just an enemy but more of a temptation. As the corruption spreads across Eireos, it's up to the players to choose how they respond to it. They can either fight it, contain it, or even leave people to their fate. There's also the option to go for a darker path since the Blight itself offers power. While corrupted abilities could turn the tide of any battle, it come at a price.
Overall, Colossus - Eternal Blight is a story-driven action RPG that features precision combat and combines it with a hand-crafted pixel art world. It's a game where choices can leave real scars and the Blight is sure to test players. Get Colossus - Eternal Blight on Steam now.
