Here are 4 minutes from the “Dark Souls meets Tetris” isle-shifting action roguelike, Loot River


straka.studio, SUPERHOT PRESENTS and Arts Council have shared a gameplay video for their upcoming “Dark Souls meets Tetris” isle-shifting action roguelike, Loot River.

Set in a series of procedurally-generated labyrinths, Loot River is a dungeon-crawling action-roguelike that combines the tense, real-time combat and dark fantasy stylings of Dark Souls with the spatial block-shifting puzzles of Tetris.

Armed with the power of the Relic, players can shift the ground beneath them, sliding floating ruins together in a series of tile puzzles. As players venture through these endless catacombs, they’ll encounter beasts, lost travelers, and bosses. These cosmic grottos offer a wealth of new weapons and gear to discover. Additionally, they provide unholy knowledge to unearth for permanent upgrades.

Once players die, they will wake up in an alternative reality.

Miro Straka said:

“I’m a fan of both puzzle games and action games, so I wanted to create something unique where the action is a puzzle. Loot River takes the spatial sorting of Tetris and combines it with tactile hack-and-slash combat in a way I’ve never seen before. We hope this first peak at Loot River whets people’s appetites for it ahead of its release on Xbox and PC.”

Enjoy!
