Dark Devotion | title

The Poe and Lovecraft-inspired action game Dark Devotion is now available on PC.

From developer Hibernian Workshop:

The eternal suffering of The Templars is both a blessing and a curse – salvation is born through sacrifice, and no sacrifice is too great to praise your God. A mystical temple teeming with a strange life-like energy of its own awaits you on your sacred crusade of suffering and redemption that will take you to the depths of traditions spanning centuries – and leave you questioning your faith and your own existence.

A brooding side-scroller, Dark Devotion features intense and dynamic combat with a variety of systems, weapons, items and spells for players to experience. Combat is deliberately paced and weighty, making mistakes feel impactful and every looting of scarce supplies a relief. The game features more than 250 weapons, more than 180 curses, blessings and runes, 18 unique bosses, and divergent paths for replayability.

Drawing heavy inspiration from the works of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P Lovecraft, Dark Devotion is the first game released by The Arcade Crew. The game retails for $19.99 and is available on Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle.
