Play as Rip Kim, a powerful warrior who’s the last of his kind. Journey through the dark and twisted levels of a ruined world in order to uncover secrets and vanquish evil spirits.
Featuring gorgeous art, stylish combat, and metroidvania elements, The Devil Within: Satgat is a side-scrolling adventure with a sinister soul. A once-peaceful world has been overrun with evil spirits, destroying much of the environment. Creatures of all kinds lurk, ready for a fight. Travel through the world striking down enemies one by one, gaining new abilities along the way.
The Devil Within: Satgat invites players to venture deep into the vast interconnected maps. From decaying urban sewers to frigid mountains and dense forests, every area is an opportunity to uncover secrets, get upgrades, and defeat bosses. Learn amazing skills and use special weapons obtained from evil spirits.
As players progress throughout the levels, a more ominous story emerges. As Kim continues killing evil spirits, he realizes an uncomfortable truth: the best way of vanquishing these spirits is to harness their energy for himself. With each kill, he absorbs more and more power, gaining new abilities. Journey further into the dark corners of the world to discover how to control an increasingly evil body.
Are you brave enough to search for the devil within?
Currently available through Steam Early Access, developer Newcore Games announced The Devil Within: Satgat is launching November 21 st for Steam and PS5.
This exciting news comes after an intensive 7-month Steam Early Access period, where the community gave a variety of feedback and suggestions that helped shape The Devil Within: Satgat into what it is today: a return-to-form for action platformers.
The launch version of The Devil Within: Satgat will bring in content that Early Access users helped shape. With that in mind, there are a few things we want to introduce as well as a few notes to consider for the full launch.
1. New Story
The full launch version of the game will feature a vastly different story from the one that players enjoyed through Early Access. While some parts kind of carry over (like our amnesiac protagonist), the way the other characters play a role in the overall story is quite different.
There are also many exhilarating boss fights to be enjoyed in the full version of the game. For those of you who are new, the Black Crow Combatant (a boss that you fight in stage 2) has a bit of a bone to pick with Kim Rip.
2. New Skills (including the Devilized form)
We added a lot of new skills for players to toy around with. With the anti-air skills as well as the devilized form (which plays "Bloodletting Me" by Matthew Kiichi Heafy when you transform so you can rock out while destroying your foes), players will find that there are a bountiful amount of combos that they can string together.
3. AP System Changes
The AP (stamina) System was revamped through one of the Closed Beta Tests and it seems that players really resonated with it. Before, when you ran out of stamina, you can only do an emergency dodge and walk around at a very slow pace.
After the changes however, you can keep doing light attacks, jump, and move. Essentially, when you run out of AP, the only actions that are restricted are actions that require AP. We made the adjustments so that you can keep up the offensive effort or move-out of the way to prioritize the defensive effort.
4. The Capital (and revisiting old stages)
Stage 4 is all about The Capital. We talked a bit about the Capital previously - Kim Rip comes to grips with his past and other characters play a pivotal role in the Capital. Aside from the story, Kim Rip also gains access to powers here that have long since been teased.
The Capital is filled with powerful demons that seek to take out Kim Rip. Regardless of difficulty level, the careless will have difficulties traversing though this stage. However, those who have reached the Capital will undoubtedly have mastered the offensive, defensive, and mobility skills to perfection (...right?).
5. Artifacts, Accessories, Weapons
Much like in the Early Access version, there will be more accessories, artifacts, and weapons that will further augment your combat prowess. You can find these items by unlocking Silver/Gold Chests, finding them in different stages, or completing the boss challenges in The Corruptor's Memory Shards. Explore every corner of the stage and you will be rewarded for your efforts.
6. Early Access Users get the full version
For those of you who bought into Early Access, we cannot thank you enough. By doing so, once the game hits the official launch date/time, you will be able to update your game and enjoy the fully version of The Devil Within: Satgat. We have had a couple of questions regarding this, so we wanted to make sure everyone was in the know.
7. Early Access Save Files
With the amount of content that is coming into the game, as well as the big changes to the story, game mechanics, and more, your save files from Early Access will not be able to be carried over. This was unfortunately inevitable with the amount of things that have changed since the start of Early Access, but we feel that players will enjoy playing with a fresh save file.
If you want to collect all of the achievements and what not before the game is updated, please do so before the launch date! After that, achievements and progress will inevitably be reset (though there are more achievements in the full version)!
