Ori Dev's Action RPG No Rest for the Wicked Gets a Huge Update, Gameplay Looks Amazing | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Announced for PS5 at The Game Awards last year, No Rest for the Wicked has returned with a lengthy gameplay showcase. Narrated by developer Moon Studios — the Austria-based team behind the Ori games — the footage shows huge promise. It's an isometric, dark fantasy RPG where you make your own character, experiment with various weapon-based fighting styles, and engage in bloody battle.

There's also a whole side activity that has you building and decorating your own base of operations, but in true action RPG fashion, your focus will be on the story-driven campaign, followed by endgame adventures. Moon Studios says the game's world will change and offer new challenges once you've seen the credits roll.

Again, No Rest for the Wicked just looks really, really good. It enters early access on Steam next month, and it'll launch on PS5 when version 1.0 rolls around. We don't really have a timeframe on that right now, but we're sure more information will be dropping over the coming months.

What do you think of this one? Try to get some rest in the comments section below.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

I was just looking at the reveal for this again today. Been craving more info.
We're getting so many excellent fantasy games lately. More more more please.

While the conversation is swirling around the future and sustainability of AAA gaming at the moment, I think projects like this are such a great example of where things can go — an art style that is so strong it easily competes with the flashiest graphics of its peers, while not having to bankrupt the studio.

This looks like the sort of atmosphere and attention to detail I'd expect from a big release like a Diablo title or something. So stoked for this game. Diablo + Souls-like is right up my alley.

It really makes you wonder why
