Monday, January 22nd, 2024 - Having won “Most Fun to Play” at Indie X and “Best Graphics” at Dreamhack Beyond this past year, Gentle Giant can today confirm Spiritfall will launch on Steam on February 28th, 2024.
 

Spiritfall is an action roguelike inspired by platform fighters with a beautifully vibrant, hand-drawn art style, fluid animations, and powerful atmospheric music. Play as Omenforged, a warrior of unknown origin chosen by the Divine Spirits to fight against the blight spreading across the land. Players will traverse dangerous regions, and unleash dynamic combos as they battle against hordes of enemies using an ever-changing arsenal of powers. While on their journey, players will encounter mysterious characters, forge and upgrade a variety of epic weapons, and unlock new elemental skills, chambers, and secrets.
 

The full release will include the final region of The Brink along with new enemies and the final boss fight, access to all weapons and their new forms, an optional boss fight for players who want to challenge their skills, and more.
 

For those eager to play this roguelike experience, the good news is that Spiritfall is already available on Steam in Early Access with a 92% Very Positive rating and 600+ reviews. Spiritfall will be on sale for 15% off until January 24th, 2024.
 

The journey of bringing Spiritfall to life has been nothing short of incredible," notes Or Avrahamy, co-founder of Gentle Giant. "From every line of code and animated sequence to the unique character abilities, it's been a genuine labor of love. A heartfelt thank you to our Early Access players who have been with us since the beginning, and a big welcome to new players to discover what Spiritfall holds for them. As the release date approaches, we're eagerly gearing up to invite everyone into the world we've crafted."
 

Spiritfall features:

  • A Roguelike with Platform Fighter Elements: Spiritfall combines tight platform fighter combat, nimble movement, and roguelike mechanics into one! Traverse dangerous regions and unleash deadly combos through a procedurally generated map for a unique gameplay experience in every run.

  • Divine Synergies Awaits: The Divine Spirits exist in the Realm Beyond and provide powerful blessings that enhance your abilities in combat. Discover your favorite abilities, explore various synergy blessings, and experiment with unique builds.

  • Grow Stronger from Defeat: Death is only a temporary setback, reawaken stronger than before at the Sanctum and continue your adventure. Use the resources you gathered to upgrade your skills, unlock unique powers, and equip mighty weapons.

  • Mysterious Encounters: Come across peculiar characters like the Relic Tinkerer who could change your strategy with powerful trinkets or Yara and her companion Damu, who might just sell you what you need in a pinch to extend your journey.
