Moody Metroidvania DOOMBLADE is part of Iceberg Interactives Gamescom 2022 showcase. The action platformer, developed by Muro Studios, was announced at the Escapist Indie Festival 2021 and, since then, made leaps and bounds in development. The release is planned for Q2 2023.
Take a look yourself and meet us at Gamescom 2022! Have a one-on-one talk with the developers and discover the game at booth A024 in Hall 4.1. We are happy to show you everything you need to know about DOOMBLADE and our other upcoming games.
In DOOMBLADE, players take on the role of Gloom Girl, the last of the Gloomfolk, who discovers DOOMBLADE, a sentient weapon hellbent on escape after eons in chains. Together, “Doom and Gloom” embark on a brutal quest to unlock the powers of The Void and destroy the Dread Lords once and for all in this 2D Action Metroidvania.
And no need for gloom if you are not attending Gamescom. A demo will be live on Steam during the exhibition! Everyone itching to try out DOOMBLADE can do so until August 28th.
More about DOOMBLADE:
Gloom Girl is the last of the Gloomfolk, surviving in the Lowland caves. Until one day, she hears a whisper…
Lured out of her solitude, she discovers a chamber containing a sentient blade, trapped and bound for eons. Freeing DOOMBLADE, “Doom and Gloom” join forces and begin a quest to regain the blade’s powers and enact vengeance on its captors.
Execute enemies with pin-point accuracy…
Wielding DOOMBLADE, Gloom Girl can ride through the air to attack enemies. Target monsters to attack them directly, and slay them with DOOMBLADE’s wrath!
Restore DOOMBLADE’s lost powers…
The blade is hungry to wreak its revenge on The Dread Lords, who bound and trapped it in the Underworld. But first, it must regain its lost strength. Search for statues of the old gods, where DOOMBLADE’s powers were hidden and stored by the long-dead Gloomfolk, awaiting its return.
Explore the cave-like worlds of the Lowlands…
From the abandoned halls of Gloomhaunt, into the New Wilderwood forest full of untrusting tribesmen, through the Molded Mines with their hedonistic shroom people, and into a technological hellscape known as the Power Sector. Wielding DOOMBLADE, Gloom Girl must destroy the monsters within and hunt down the Dread Lords who imprisoned DOOMBLADE.
