'Succubus' Shows Off Cherub Enemy Type - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 23, 2019 @ 3:36 p.m. PDT

Succubus, a spin-off to our previous game Agony, is an action-oriented horror combining dynamic and brutal combat, with an intriguing storyline.

The main character of the game is Succubus, a wild and lustful demon. The players were able to learn a part of her story in the original Agony and Agony UNRATED, where she received her own single-player campaign.

With the disappearance of the legitimate rulers of Hell, the remaining demons recognized Nimrod as their ruler, because he was the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. By raising his new empire from the corpses of sinners, the new king, along with his new queen Succubus, managed to control the chaos left by the former rulers.

The new title didn't fit the Succubus. The life of luxury and walking on rugs sewn from the skins of martyrs was not for her though, and so she has chosen a life in the wilderness of Hell.

During her travels, the new queen meets the powerful Baphomet who, together with his army, is going to get the soul of Nimrod. Captured, maimed and betrayed by her own species, the Succubus is left with only one goal that matters –  REVENGE!


Cherub is a demon who, like the iconic Onoskelis, can wield fire. Using pyrokinesis, he tries to keep the right distance from the player to minimize the risk of direct contact, which usually ends fast and brutal.
Cherub is not a character who prefers an honorable duel, which is why he usually appears in numerous groups, trying to encircle his victim.

Cherub is a type of demon that was born of sin, while various species of infernal creatures began to interbreed with each other. The deformed body of this creature often moves in contradictory logic, giving the impression that each of the two demons joined together lives according to their own rules. His survival often depends on more powerful demons who live in correlation with him, benefiting from each other. When the characteristic scream of Onoskelis resounds in hell, it is the Cherub who is the first to arrive, helping in the fight and hoping for the possibility of eating warm corpses.

This type of demon usually attacks his victims when outnumbering them. He tries to circle the character and set it on fire with long-range fireballs. He often responds to the call of more powerful beings, arriving at the indicated place and supporting a larger demon in the fight. Only by killing the demon that summons Cherubs, you can stop the next ones from incoming.
Solo Cherub is an easy-to-kill character, so he tries to engage in combat only when the player is in a duel with stronger opponents.

Tactics

  • Start the elimination with a demon that summons Cherubs
  • Always be on the move and use dodges to bypass ranged attacks quickly
  • Use environmental traps to hurt many Cherubs at once
  • Deflect attacks by pairing them at the right time
  • Use magic and long-range attacks
  • Use alternative weapon attacks and nail cherubs to walls and ceilings

You are the Succubus – a wild and lustful demon who rejected the role of the queen of the infernal abyss. ­With the disappearance of the legitimate rulers of Hell, the remaining demons recognized Nimrod as their ruler, because he was the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. By raising his new empire from the corpses of sinners, the new king, along with his new queen – you – managed to control the chaos left by former rulers. The life of luxury and walking on rugs sewn from the skins of martyrs was not for you though, and so you have chosen a life in the wilderness. By satisfying your appetites and original instincts, you inflict pain by hurting everyone and everything in your path.

The moment you meet the powerful Baphomet who, together with his army, is going to get the soul of Nimrod, you are captured and maimed. Betrayed by your own species you are left with only one goal that matters – revenge!
