Though the influences come from a myriad of sources, Zee says the pen-and-ink works of Italian illustrator Sergio Toppi, and American artist Franklin Booth, were at the forefront in the beginning. For Pyre, as before, she has come up with a distinctive look for the characters, and the game’s high fantasy setting has given her the licence to go wild, which shows in the variety of horns on human heads, or animals standing up on two feet. Together, the two games have sold just about 5 million copies but more importantly, both have been singled out for how beautiful they look, and how engaging they are to play.Ī lot of that is thanks to Supergiant’s art director Jen Zee, who has been with the indie studio from the start. It’s a new action role-playing title (that borrows other genre elements) from the same tight-knit core team that gave the world Bastion in 2011, and Transistor in 2014. Kasavin is talking about the studio’s next game – Pyre – which comes out worldwide on July 25 after close to three years in development. “We didn’t set out to make a bigger game for the sake of it, but the larger cast of characters ended up requiring this, in order for the story to feel fulfilling and complete.” Graphics are exaggerated and colourful, like illustrations in a children's book, giving the world a fairy-tale feel.“It’s our biggest game, with more characters and more ways to play than either of our previous games,” Greg Kasavin, creative director at Supergiant Games, tells Gadgets 360. The party can only move during the day, so the night phases are dedicated to training skills, looking for supplies or studying lore. Outside the combats, the game is divided into a day/night cycle. Only a mystical orb can harm this target, and only one orb is on the field, making this something like a game of football played with swords and spells. Each battle, called a Rite, is essentially a 3v3 competition in which a team of characters take on a group of opponents in an attempt to destroy a pyre at the their end of the battlefield. Battle for your soulĬombat is at the heart of gameplay in Pyre, and it's both tactical and action-packed.
In addition to travel and exploration, the game uses a combat mechanic that's something like a cross between a MOBA and a game of Rocket League.
In this game, you control an exile who joins a party of fellow exiles in a quest to cleanse their souls through redemptive combat. Pyre is a fantasy role-playing game that combines traditional RPG party management with an action-based combat mechanic. Softonic review Explore a strange fantasy world in Pyre
