A couple of days ago, we informed you about an indie first-person action game that is heavily inspired by Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, called The Nightscarred: Forgotten Gods. And today, we have another similar indie game, called Alkahest.
Developed by Push On, Alkahest is an action adventure RPG that is inspired by Dishonored, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
In this game, you assume the role of the youngest son of a petty lord. You’ll be able to explore castles, forests, villages and other realistic settings. Moreover, according to the devs, you’ll be able to make interesting decisions on your journey.
Push On claims that the game will have branching gameplay options. Additionally, it will a highly interactive and believable world with semi open-world locations.
Players will be able to build their combo and execute it against enemies. As such, they can drop a tree on their head, kick them off a cliff, and set them on fire. Basically, think of it as a new “Dark Messiah of Might and Magic” game.
Instead of magic, Alkahest will feature alchemy, a complex and important game system. Players will follow a recipe or mix gathered ingredients at their own discretion. They will be able to use the substance as a throwable, a weapon oil, plant it into an NPC’s pocket or even drink it themselves. In each scenario, outcomes can be unpredictable.
Although there is no ETA on when the game will come out, Push On shared some preliminary PC requirements.
PC gamers will at least need a 3.0 GHz Quad Core CPU with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon RX 580. The devs recommend using a 3.6 GHz Quad Core CPU with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX or AMD Radeon RX5600.
Enjoy the following gameplay trailer and stay tuned for more!
