The story follows hero Kyhra, who is sent away to uncover the secrets of an Eldritch monolith which is threatening to destroy her world. Armed with her trusty combat drone, she must shoot and slash her way through the infinite depths of an ever-changing dungeon, wherein gigantic bosses, ancient machines, strange ghosts and untold secrets from previous explorers await. 

There is no backtracking, as the game structure follows a procedural combination of pre-built challenge rooms, not unlike the Binding of Isaac.

Eastasiasoft has partnered with Dear Villagers and Flying Oak Games to release physical editions of ScourgeBringer for Nintendo Switch. Blending roguelite progression and platforming with insanely fast combat, this is a modern pixel art masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of multiple genres with vicious elegance.

From the makers of NeuroVoider, this new action adventure is described as “Dead Cells meets Celeste” due to its tough but fair roguelite structure and free-moving action across hazardous hand-crafted environments. Adaptive sounds by Joonas Turner (Nuclear Throne, Downwell, Broforce) underscores the brutal ballet, giving the action a rhythmic quality when skillfully executed. ScourgeBringer is a complete experience of audio-visual cohesion, boasting 60fps performance in both docked and handheld modes on Nintendo Switch.

Preorders open with online retail partner Playasia at 11:00pm Hong Kong Time (10:00am ET / 3:00pm UK) this Thursday, November 5th. Limited Editions include the game, manual, soundtrack CD and numbered certificate in a collector’s box for only US$34.99 + shipping (only 2000 units). Standard copies will also be available at US$29.99.
