ScourgeBringer, the rogue-platformer, is now available on the PS4, and PS Vita digitally. Physical editions are coming soon, though they are limited, and you can pre-order it now for the PS4. There will be a boxed version for the Vita port coming at a later date as well.
About The Game (from press release)
ScourgeBringer aims to channel the mystery and rawness of an early rogue-platformer, with fluid control, aerial combat, pixel graphics and a punchy soundtrack. The story follows hero Kyhra, who is sent away to uncover the secrets of an Eldritch monolith which is threatening to destroy her world. Armed with her trusty combat drone, she must shoot and slash her way through the infinite depths of an ever-changing dungeon, wherein gigantic bosses, ancient machines, strange ghosts and untold secrets from previous explorers await. There is no backtracking, as the game’s structure follows a procedural combination of pre-built challenge rooms, not unlike The Binding of Isaac.
