Features:
- Dynamic Battle System: How you execute combat – and how your enemies perish – is entirely up to you!
- Unique Finishers: Every new enemy is a new opportunity for you to show your flair for combat; stagger your foes to set them up for (literally) killer animations and flourishes.
- Epic Multi-Stage Boss Encounters: The beasts of Scandinavian folklore will not let themselves be put down so easily, and you’ll have to use your wits and reflexes to pursue and slay them!
- Explore A Beautiful World of Pixels, Death, and Decay: Vessels of Decay is a completely handcrafted world, with care and thought poured into each and every scene, story beat, and environment.
- A Scandinavian Take on Classic Action-Adventure: The battered ruins of a once-modern society clash with the renewed growth of nature – and of the supernatural. Explore a uniquely Scandinavian setting through a mix of reflective melancholy, exploration, and fast-paced action.
