Freedom in attack and intensity in survival
This is the combat experience that The Relic: First Guardian is bringing to PlayStation 5 and PC players when it launches next week, July 31st.
Whether you prefer the heavy, high damage swing of a blade, or the dicing, slicing swiftness of the dual daggers, every player can unearth a unique artefact found only once in the blighted world of Arsilthus. Take a deep dive into the newest gameplay trailer below and see how The Relic: First Guardian is purposefully and unapologetically challenging the established status quo.
Providing a fresh new take on combat, with a heavy emphasis on balancing action and vulnerability, its design encourages aggressive attacks using skill-based encounters such as dodge, parry, and weapon mastery. Project Cloud Games’ ambition is to create an action oriented, dark fantasy RPG with in-game support systems and gameplay focused upon fast-paced combat with 80 punishing boss fights. To facilitate the action, stamina is never depleted when attacking, leaving it reserved for defence and dodging.
Skills operate on cooldowns, without the need to worry about consumption of resources. This direction allows each player to adapt to their own playstyle and rhythm, seamlessly blending combat flow. Rather than traditional levelling systems and gaining experience points, progression comes from equipment, crafting, Relic powers, and build customisations.
No two journeys through Arsilthus are the same, so get ready to raise those swords and make your mark in The Relic: First Guardian.
