After being in development for about six years and funded through Kickstarter, developer Bit Kid (originally named Discord Games) announced today that Chasm will be released July 31st. The indie retro game lets players customize their character’s equipment armor, weapons, and spells while exploring its glorious, pixel art world.
Details from official website:
Welcome to Chasm, an action-adventure game in which you play a new recruit undertaking your first mission for the Guildean Kingdom. Thrilled to prove your worth as a knight, you track strange rumors that a mine vital to the Kingdom has been shut down. But what you discover in the mining town is worse than you imagined: The townspeople have disappeared, kidnapped by supernatural creatures emerging from the depths.
Honor-bound to solve the mystery and restore peace to the Kingdom, you embark upon an epic adventure, with deadly battles against cunning monsters, exploration of ancient catacombs and castles, and powerful new equipment hidden at every turn. Though the overall story is the same for all players, your hero’s journey will be unique: each of the rooms has been hand-designed, and behind the scenes Chasm stitches these rooms together into a one-of-a-kind world map that will be your own.
You can watch the teaser trailer and screenshots below to get a taste of this Metroidvania styled game. Charm will release July 31, 2018 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, PC (Windows, Mac, Linux through Steam and Humble stores).
