663 Games reveals the Scarlet Sword weapon and Ink Gems in this exclusive demo playthrough
After the highly successful playable demo launch on Steam, Indie publisher 663 Games is thrilled to unveil the first developer walkthrough for their much-anticipated new action roguelite title, Realm of Ink. In this 13-minute video, developers Leap Studio and Maple Leaf Studio take viewers on a journey through part of the demo experience, showcasing the Scarlet Sword weapon school and the Twin Domain strategy.
The Scarlet Sword is a fast and versatile weapon that unleashes both light and heavy attacks. The light attack is a quick triple strike that deals low damage to enemies, while the heavy attack is a powerful round slash that causes significant damage. The heavy attack can also be charged up for extra damage, with the charge-up speed increasing if preceded by a light attack.
In the walkthrough, viewers are given a glimpse into the world of Realm of Ink as the developers take on a perilous path using the Scarlet Sword. Along the way, they showcase two selected Ink Gems – Venom Ink and Quake Ink. These Ink Gems lay down magical circles that deal damage over time and provide shields for the character, respectively. To enhance the effects of these circles, the developers have selected specific perks that increase Poison damage and shield amounts.
Fans of the game can experience the first level of Realm of Ink in the recently released PC demo, available for free on Steam. The demo offers a taste of the breathtaking visuals and deep combat system that have made the game one of the most highly anticipated releases.
Realm of Ink is an Ink-style action roguelite game that combines traditional Chinese ink painting with modern art direction.
