DaRmaZat Publisher Perp Games and developer Project Cloud Games have released a comprehensive 12-minute exploration gameplay trailer for their dark fantasy Soulslike action RPG, The Relic: First Guardian. Set in the apocalyptic semi-open world of Arsiltus, the deep dive provides a closer look at the environmental design, character progression, and puzzle mechanics defining the title.
The narrative follows a heroic adventure to save a world swallowed by a void created by the destruction of a great relic. Players must navigate a land of death to find the pieces of the broken great relic and close the void.
Combat and general action are built around flexibility, giving users five different types of weapon options that form the basis of the gameplay. Each weapon has unique skills that can be changed according to personal playstyles. Rather than relying on traditional character levels, growth is tied to utilizing runes, items, and crafting to strengthen characters as they complete dungeons and defeat bosses.
The Relic: First Guardian is due out for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on July 31, followed by Xbox Series and Switch 2 later this summer.
