Castlevania fans, here is something for you today. Fireshine Games has announced a new 2D action game with RPG elements that is inspired by 16/32-bit classics like Castlevania and Metroid. This new game is called Gestalt: Steam & Cinder and is coming to PC this May.
In Gestalt: Steam & Cinder, players will assume the role of Aletheia and tread the path of the Soldner, an elite mercenary of Irkalla who lives one job at a time. Players will be able to fight their enemies with a sword and a gun, combining a slew of melee combos and deadly gunplay in staggering feats of skill.
As with most recent retro action retro titles, you’ll be able to dash, dodge, and double-jump. You’ll also have an array of abilities to upgrade. Like in most Castlevania-inspired games, you’ll be able to spend experience points to unlock new skills and trade scrap for accessories to customize your build.
To be honest, I like everything I saw in the following trailer. The game appears to have a great art style, and the animations are really smooth. The combat also appears to be quite good. So, this could be a hit on Steam when it comes out.
Fireshine Games plans to release Gestalt: Steam & Cinder on May 21st. Oh, and there is also a free demo you can download from Steam. So, go ahead and get it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
