'Crumbling World' Gets Updated Beta Demo, Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on April 14, 2020 @ 3:59 p.m. PDT

Crumbling World is an action RPG experience, set in a slowly decomposing world which has succumbed to corruption.

Across five unique regions, make haste through 25 seamless diorama-like levels as the world rapidly falls away beneath your feet.

Set in a sinister, slowly decomposing land where humanity has been driven to corruption, aligning with dark forces for survival, players must traverse gorgeous diorama-like levels in an attempt to bring back the age of light - before the world crumbles away entirely beneath their feet.

In this procedurally generated world, no two playthroughs will ever be the same. As you progress, the ground will crumble underneath you; pushing forward is your only option.

From your first faltering steps in The Fields to a dark descent into The Dungeons, take back control of your world and bring peace to the land at last - if you’re up to the quest.

Choose a combat class to suit you and fight off an onslaught of corrupted enemies while leveling up and upgrading your abilities in a quest to save the world. Your build will determine your success, so pay close attention to your selections. The wrong decision could be the difference between saving the world, or perishing along with it.

In the beta demo, players will experience a number of the procedurally-generated opening stages of the game and take control of Mathos, the Knight - one of the five classes which will be available when the game launches in May.

This beta demo has been crafted to provide a taste of the world and the intense real-time combat that players will utilize on their journey to restore light to the land.

The updated beta demo also showcases the addition of the "crumbling" mechanic whereby the corrupted world will literally fall apart beneath the character's feet. Players will need to plan their steps, lest they fall into the twisted Underworld beneath the game's levels.

Key Features:

  • Choose between 7 characters, spanning 5 different classes
    • Knight: Merek and his beloved sister Krea were abandoned at birth and discovered by Sadon, a blacksmith renowned for the quality of his forging, who took them into his home. Both were driven to become lethal warriors, ready to take on the evils of the Crumbling World.
    • Wizard: Hadrian is a powerful magician, with a background as mysterious as his powers. Legend has it he has been present to help humanity since the beginning of time. When humanity lost all hope, he took refuge in the hidden forests of Ysellian.
    • Thea, daughter of Hadrian, inherited her father’s magical powers. Unlike her father, she never lost hope in humanity. Now more than ever she is determined to do anything that could help to save the last remnants of humanity.
    • Archer: Jarin, the descendant of the illustrious Elf Dynasty, has always wished he was human. His weakness and physical imperfections led him to believe that he would fit in better with humanity than the superior and elite race of Elves. However, his rigorous and demanding training allowed him to become a fearsome archer - his precision and ability to fire multiple arrows with a single shot make him especially dangerous.
    • Brute: Berinon is a giant dwarf - a truly rare aberration of his species. Sadly, he never found his place among any of the races on Earth. His prowess in combat has made him a great and welcomed ally in any battle. Skilled with the ax, he is trained in the art of killing.
    • Creature: The Creature is the rarest of all species that inhabit the Earth. This Son of Nature is feared for its size, rocky appearance, and supernatural strength. Legend says that despite this strength, his most fearsome attribute is his ability to bend the forces of nature at his will.
  • Do battle with over 40 types of unique enemies and bosses.
  • Explore 5 crumbling procedurally-generated regions.
  • Three difficulty levels - pick which suits you best, or battle through all three to prove your worth.
  • Engage in hack & slash inspired real-time combat.
  • Fully customise your character build with flexible skills and upgrades.

Crumbling World will launch for PC (Steam) on May 21, 2020.
