In the wake of Steam Next Fest and all of its exciting demos, one RPG we’ve been keeping a particularly close eye on is Death of a Wish, which looks to be a delightful blend of the best elements from Diablo and Vampire Survivors.
Death of a Wish places you in a striking 2D-animated world, but don’t be fooled by the beautifully unique visual style of this RPG game, because hidden among the Neo-Sanctum are a range of nightmare-inducing monsters and despicable people waiting to take you down.
Play as Christian, a young man looking to challenge the cult that raised him, as he embarks on a vicious and violent mission to overthrow the four Sanctum Faiths: Father, Sister, Cardinal, and Priest. Combining magical moves and intense strategizing, Death of a Wish asks a lot of its players, but the rewards are devilishly good.
It’s a game that follows a similar suit to the likes of Diablo and Vampire Survivors in pushing its users to grapple with an unsettling narrative, formidable foes, and a gloomy tone that puts Death of a Wish on the edge of horror game territory, which is only heightened by the immersive nature of the single player format. If you like your games full of surrealism and a brooding atmosphere, you’ve just found your next obsession, we’re sure.
Death of a Wish is out now on Steam, and you can pick it up for 10% off as part of an introductory offer, bringing it down to $17.99 / £16.12 until Thursday, March 21.
