Summum Aeterna is a roguelite featuring frantic action without losing the artistic essence of the Aeterna world.

Summum Aeterna is a prequel to the Metroidvania Aeterna Noctis, where we will take control of the King of Darkness during his bloodiest and most chaotic time. Incredible combat and a frenetic pace of pure action will accompany us in this new adventure which takes place thousands of years before the events in Aeterna Noctis.

Taking the role of the King of Darkness, a mighty, powerful, and, why not, attractive warlord condemned to eternal life, you'll explore uncharted dungeons populated with treasures, traps, hordes of enemies, and powerful bosses.

Descend into the most dangerous depths of Aeterna and fight your way to the end of each dungeon... If you can!

The final version of the Summum Aeterna was released just a few days ago, and now the studio confirms that due to the success of the title and the good reception and appreciation from players, they've decided to launch a new free DLC before the end of this year.

“The Witcher Awakening” is the name of this content, and will feature a bunch of new gameplay elements that will add more hours of fun to the current version. This free DLC aims to include a new type of weapon, the so-called "ornaments". These magical artifacts work very differently from other weapons, forcing players to adopt a new style of play when defeating the final bosses and hordes of enemies.

In addition to allowing access to devastating new tools of destruction, the upcoming content for Summum Aeterna also includes a “seed history”. This is an interesting feature that will make our pace of play much more dynamic by being able to accurately review the challenges and seeds that we have already overcome to focus on everything we still have to do.

Aeternum Game Studios confirms its free availability on Steam and Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Key Features:

• Roguelite vibes: The King of Darkness may be immortal... But he can still be defeated. You will start your adventure over and over again, that's how this kind of games works, right? Don't panic, even if you're defeated, you still keep some of the stuff and upgrades you earned the last time you lived... Some of them, at least.
• Seed mechanic: Summum Aeterna includes an original feature never seen before in the genre, the seeds... Each one generates a unique dungeon with different enemy behavior, rewards, random encounters, and even a larger map size, depending on its attributes and rareness.
• Brutal fast-paced combat: The key to surviving in Summum Aeterna is killing every single living (or not, depending on the enemy) being you encounter. How to achieve that? Well, your play as a cursed monarch so your weapons were crafted for a king! Show no mercy, use your swords, shields, pistols, and scythes to make them beg for their miserable lives before they do the same with you...
• Rareness is a virtue: Every weapon, seed, and gem in Summum Aeterna has a rareness level: Common, Infrequent, Strange, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. The higher the rarity of an item, the more benefits. More level means bigger dangers and challenges, but higher rareness too!
• Custom adventures: In Summum Aeterna you can define your own adventure. Each completed dungeon will give you lots of rewards, including seed genes. Thanks to the seed mechanic, you can personalize the world attributes, enemy stats, and conditions by combining different genes... Each dungeon will be different from the last!
• Beautiful art style: Each asset, enemy, NPC, and animation has been hand-drawn using traditional 2d techniques... Everything you see in Summum Aeterna, from the smallest chest to the most colossal boss, has countless hours of hard drawing work. The visuals speak for themselves, the game looks amazing!

Summum Aeterna is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
