What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As of now, we are in the early stages of development, however the game is playable. In order for it to grow into something great we require public feedback and community involvement.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game aims to be in Early Acces for the duration of 4 year. However, depending on its development, this might change in the future.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Malus will include many new spells, abilities, build diversities, items, loot and an engaging story-line. Malus aims to have replayability value through item, build diversities and multiple endings. It will also have a bigger, open world map for players to explore and do side quests.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable. Basic core gameplay mechanics are implemented. Spells and Item variety are lacking however future updates will include much more. The current state of the Early Access includes a small portion of the starting quest line. Once completed, players can explore the map to find monsters and loot.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will accept any and all feedback to work towards the development of this game. The game will evolve based on these player feedback. Once the game has been launched, I will start a Discord page to discuss and consolidate feedback.”

Reviews

““At first glance, we see another Diablo indie clone, but in fact it is a fairly high-quality RPG, which even looks very solid in early access. Looking forward to further updates! ””

About This Game

Malus is a Action Role Playing Game with an emphasis on horror, combat and gameplay. The game is much slower paced than your typical ARPG.

In Malus, the world has been overrun by eternal darkness. Demons have won the Celestial War and taken over the world. Every corner of the land you will find evil lurking. Humanity is in the brink of extinction. You play as either a Male or Female, you wake up in the middle of a forest, not knowing how you got there, you scower the land in search answers.

Soon uncovering dark and horrific secrets about the land and also yourself.

Key Features:

Unique Combat System
Malus features a lock on mechanic, while in combat that allows you to maneuver around enemies effectively. You also have the ability to Block (if you have a shield equiped) and Dodge on command. Combat is slower and more tactical compared to other ARPGs

Realism
Your character keeps his weapon sheathed when not in combat, pulls an arrow out of the quiver when firing a bow and equips a lantern to light up dark areas. When there is no source of light, the area becomes almost pitch black. The goal is to create an immersive, believable atmospheric environment to allow players to engage in the story we wish to tell. We also try our best to minimize UI elements such as damage numbers and flashing enemies when hit.

Loot and Item Diversities
Find rare and ancient weapons. Turn your character from a peasant to a menacing fighter. Defend yourself from the evergrowing horde of darkness

Attributes & Skills
Upgrade your character using an old favorite of the ARPG formula. Learn new spells and skills and use your new found abilities to crush the demonic horde.

Horror Elements
Immerse yourself in a creepy and horrifying world. Dark and mysterious dungeons scatter the land for you to explore

This game will not include multiplayer (for now) It will instead be a single-player RPG game, The map will be Open World you can explore and do side quests and go wherever you want, there will be no invisible walls. You are only restricted by the strength of monsters in that particualr area.
