Assemble an unholy trio of rotting corpses to confront and destroy the demon haunting the city of Lenste in this dark and oppressing medieval world. Manage flesh and bone across 30 cursed characters, each with distinct traits, and fend off decay while upgrading the undead squad’s attributes.

Carve and hack a path to victory with realistic sword-fighting mechanics, and harvest the flesh of fallen foes to extend the life of undead soldiers. Even the playing field with perfectly-timed dashes, parrying tactics, and upgradeable weapons with special abilities. 

Battle evil and time itself, carefully managing resources with a devilish level of detail for both exploration and combat. Held together by only black magic, the rotting flesh of the terrifying triad worsens with every passing moment. Mounting levels of decay eventually render each warrior useless, but “preservatives” can help stave off the inevitable. 

Adapt to each challenge with an ever-changing rotation of temporary ghoulish grunts. Study the horrifying enemies and the ominous surrounding areas before every battle to craft the perfect plan of attack. Enlist new Grave Keepers, Knights, Plague Doctors and Assassins to replenish ranks, and explore six eerie areas in a hunt for the demon presiding over the cathedral.

Currently available through Steam Early Access , developer Melancholia Studio and publisher Thermite Games announced that the 1.0 version of  Corpse Keeper is set to release on Steam and Epic Store on May 28, 2024.

Along with the launch of the 1.0 version, a historical low price will be available with a 40% discount on both platforms from May 28 to June 11.

After one year of rigorous development and fine-tuning, Melancholia Studio is thrilled to unveil the complete version of Corpse Keeper.

New features in the full release comparing to the Early Access version include:

• Tons of adjustments, balancing and optimization based on player feedback to ensure a better and smoother game experience.
• 3 new difficulty levels, each featuring more intense enemies and challenging mechanics, along with additional playable characters to enhance customization options for each run.
• Enemies from a new faction—Golden Apostles from the Golden City—arrive in the City of Lenste. Extremely vigorous and capable of turning into solid gold in an invincible state, these elite enemies will push players’ skills to their limits.
• New facilities to help players cope with more arduous situations, such as Crystal Pile and Purifying Forge to turn Dim Soul Crystals and Rotten Flesh into useful items.
• Face the ultimate Demon, unveiling the true story behind all the scheme and conspiracy.

Key Features:

• A wide collection of characters: Dozens of playable characters, each with a large number of well-designed and extremely vigorous attack actions.
• Decay system: You are controlling corpses of flesh and bones sticked together with black magic. Every exploration increases the decay of the body. The dead warrior collapses when the decay reaches 100%. The increase in decay is irreversible and you can only reduce the increase by applying "preservatives". Be aware of the team selection ahead of every run!
• Roster building: You'll constantly lose your warriors due to the decay process. But on the other hand, you'll be able to create new corpses with flesh and bones of the defeated enemies. This means that you won't be able to lay back and win easily with the same team over and over again. In order to lead the team forward, you will have to adapt to changes and achieve dynamic balance.
• Resource management: There're all kinds of resources to acquire in Corpse Keeper, which are essential for exploration. However, you can't always have it all. You need to understand what's really urgent and make your choices accordingly.
• Unforeseeable adventure: You will encounter not only enemies but also facilities to aid you, and make you pay at the same time. Be aware not to backfire yourself by interacting in wrong scenarios.
• Countless equipment: Equipment offers not only boost to attributes, they also grant powerful specialties to your warriors. To make full use of the specialties, your lineup, enemy's attributes, the area and many factors are under consideration. Specialties may also affect the items and facilities you use.
• Immersive atmosphere: Six distinctive areas can be explored, offering a solemn and dark medieval fantasy landscape.

Corpse Keeper is coming to PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on May 28, 2024.
