Enter a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains... a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka. The cure to the plague is at the bottom, but can you reach it before you run out of food, bullets, or luck? Enter The Pit again for the first time, in this unique Roguelike / FPS hybrid!
Players will take on the role of a Marine, Scout or Engineer character and enter the Pit, a high-tech dungeon in which diabolical experiments are performed on life forms gathered from all over the galaxy.
Developed with the Unreal Engine, The Pit: Infinity is a hybrid of FPS controls, roguelike RPG mechanics and procedurally generated environments, a combination of art, science fiction world-building and gameplay is unique.
Most of the available FPS games on the market offer a minimal selection of weapons and opponents, very simple power-ups and little investment in building your character. Most of the available RPG’s on the market are long-term investments in a single story-line, no limited multiplayer options and very little replayability. Other indie teams have attempted to combine procedurally generated levels, FPS controls and roguelike mechanics in the past, but they seldom brought realistic 3D art, science fiction setting and survival horror atmosphere to the table.
The Pit: Infinity is something different from what has come before. And that’s a good thing. We are trying to create a game that will re-invent a genre. The Pit: Infinity now has most of its core features in place. It is stable and playable for the development team, and we are ready for players to put it to the test and help shape its content.
"We are very pleased to not only have met our promised timetable for full release but also in meeting all of our key feature goals in that amount of time. With the help of the community, The Pit: Infinity is bigger and better than we ever planned and well on its way to growing as big as the original Pit through free content releases and DLC." - Martin Cirulis (CEO / Lead Designer of Kerberos Productions)
Players can still pick up The Pit: Infinity in Early Access on Steam to get some playtime in before the saves are reset at launch and the price is raised to $29.99USD. They can also pick up the game in THE PIT PACK bundle on Steam which also includes the Osmium edition of Sword of the Stars: The Pit, including all of its DLC.
