Dark Fantasy Action Adventure Guild of Darksteel Arrives on July 15

The game will first launch on PC and Nintendo Switch

Guild of Daksteel is a dark fantasy action platformer that draws inspiration from games like Salt and Sanctuary, Death's Gambit, and Blasphemous. Developed by Igor Sandman, the versatile artist with nominations to his name for Best Art and Fresh Talent Prize from the Belgian Game Awards, Guild of Darksteel is set for release on July 15.

At first, the game will be available on PC (Steam, GOG, Greenman Gaming, Humble, Nuuveem) and Nintendo Switch with a 25% discount for a limited time. No word on possible releases for other platforms like PlayStation and Xbox, but that will probably depend on how well the game will perform on PC and Switch.

According to publisher Digerati, Guild of Darksteel is a cinematic, side-scrolling adventure set in a lush, layered dark fantasy world. Players will embark on an adventure and follow the Sellsword, an immortal, as he seeks a purpose in eternal life by joining the Guild of Darksteel.

You'll be investigating the mysterious tunnels underneath the cities of Ravenrock, interact with its inhabitants, and try to discover each character's deep story that's meant to breathe life into the game's world.

Guild of Darksteel features a refined combat system that should greatly help players defeat anyone who stands in the way of their mission. As they progress through the game, players will unlock combos and level them up to fit their playstyle.

Story-wise, Guild of Darksteel promises a deep and nuanced story inspired by classics like Flashback and Vagrant Story. Expect a gripping story of power struggle and soul searching, as its characters come face to face with their mortality or lack thereof.

Visually, the world of Guild of Darksteel is comprised of dark, yet evocatively detailed pixel art, and set against a foreboding and thought-provoking soundtrack. A unique and daring color palette sets the perfect tone for your investigation of the darkness that lurks beneath Ravenrock.
