About This Game

Runeblight is a retro-inspired FPS which takes place in a steampunk fantasy world on the brink of collapse. After having acquired an incredible power, you must take on cultists, monsters, and creatures of the abyss to free the land from an oppressive blight which threatens to destroy everything it touches.

Landing somewhere between Quake and Dark Souls (with a hint Thief), Runeblight features tight and fast-paced FPS gameplay, a throwback to shooters of the 90s, all within an interconnected metroidvania world.

Carve a path of your own as you fight your way through hoards of enemies, discover secrets, and become unkillable.

Vilaura is a maze of hidden paths. From sprawling cities to haunted catacombs, each passage hides something new. Your survival depends on your adaptability. Equip enchanted daggers, arcane wands, shotguns, and crossbows—each weapon shifting how you fight and survive.

• As you explore you will find hexaltars, waypoints between the darkness. You may find yourself returning now and then to paths you've crossed before as new abilities unlock new ways to traverse in this metroidvania world.

• Weapons left by the fallen can be added to your arsenal. In Vilaura, you can find anything from a shotgun, to a wand. A crossbow, or a grenade launcher. Just like the shooters of old, you can carry as many as you can find, giving you a variety of choices for each combat situation.

The world is woven with forgotten magic, its ancient writings buried in ruins, cities, and crypts. Runic powers harken to an age long passed, each one providing you its strength.

• Equipping a runic power gives you a unique ability, some more powerful than others.

• A plethora of these powers can be found throughout the game, allowing you to mix and match their ability's to your playstyle.

• As you grow in strength, you'll be able to equip even more runic powers. You'll need them for the challenges to come.

Rusted machines continue to hum, their gears still turning even as the world crumbles away. Lost ruins and dilapidated castles still pulse with ancient magic. Vilaura has been decimated by an unrelenting plague. Powerful forces conspire to see this land fall into ruin, but with the gift of undying, you might have a chance at ending the blight once and for all. As you explore this forgotten kingdom, you'll find the remnants of a civilization in collapse, and those who still hope for its future—May the moon light thy path.

• Explore a diverse steampunk fantasy world. A castle sits next to an industrial forge. A squalid town rests at the foot of a tower guarded by automatons. Secrets wait for you around every corner.

• Of those still living in Vilaura, few will be your ally. Occasionally, however, you can find merchants and friends who will help you along your path. Your quest is simple, but there could be more to this story than meets the eye.
