Summary
Rock Paper Shotgun reporter Chris Livingston discusses his first impressions of the forthcoming RPG Empyreal, which is developed by Silent Games and Secret Mode and set to launch on 8 May 2023.
He notes that the game sports third-person combat within four distinct biomes within a huge monolith, which players explore as an “elite mercenary” with a choice of weapons including wizardly halberds, railguns and spells.
The biomes, which reflect certain philosophical principles, include a nature-themed environment and a technological one, which resembles the aesthetics of the game Rime.
The game’s environments are hand-designed but players can alter their chemistry through the use of items called cartograms that change the types of enemies and available loot.
Cartograms can also be gifted to other players, as can pieces of equipment found in-game after boss fights.
Asynchronous multiplayer elements allow players to encounter ghostly spectres of other players when accessing these gifts.
The game has a single player focus, with NPC questlines and several branching endings.
