Chasm is an action-adventure game with Metroidvania elements developed and published by independent developer Discord Games for the PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and Steam. The game is getting a launch trailer showing off some of its features as it has just become available today.
In
Chasm, players will take the role of an aspiring knight undertaking his first mission for the Kingdom of Guildean. When rumours point to a vital mine to the kingdom has been shut down, our hero must go on a journey to prove his worth and. What he didn't expect was that the mine was swarming with supernatural creatures.
Like any proper Metroidvania game, players are left in a huge open, non-linear world for them to explore—and do a lot of backtracking, if necessary—as they go into the depths of the mine hunting creatures. Armed with a plethora of weapons that will help players overcome any challenges, potions with varied effects, and even crafting their own weapons as they go along.
Chasm features six massive areas that are procedurally-assembled, challenging retro gameplay with beautiful pixel art graphics, massive bosses for players to fight, new abilities that will allow them to reach previously inaccessible areas(much like Metroid games), and fully customisable armour, weapons, and spells.
Check it out:
Thrilled to prove your worth as a knight, you track strange rumors that a mine vital to the war effort has been shut down. But what you discover in the mining town is worse than you imagined: The townspeople have begun to disappear, kidnapped by supernatural creatures emerging from the depths.
Chasm is available for the PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and Steam right now.
