<p>Drinkbox Studios has a strong track record at this point from prior releases like the Guacamelee games, Severed, and Nobody Saves the World. Studio co-founder Graham Smith claims that the newly announced Blighted is the team’s “largest and most ambitious game to date.”</p><p>Revealed for the first time during today’s Summer Game Fest presentation, Blighted is an isometric action/RPG that calls to mind games like Hades at first glance, but the developers actually cite Metroidvania games as a core direction.&nbsp;</p><p>Playable either solo or cooperatively, the game focuses on a lone survivor who must retrieve the lost memories of his destroyed village after a being named Sorcisto has consumed them. Blighted features a focus on precise and fast-moving combat built around combos and finishers, and your own Blight acts as a dynamic difficulty scaler that changes enemies, your own character, and the surrounding world.&nbsp;</p><p>Blighted is being scored by Jim Guthrie, whose prior work includes titles like Superbrothers: Sword &amp; Sworcery EP, Below, and Nobody Saves the World.&nbsp;</p><p>Based on both the concept and the pedigree of the studio, this feels like a title worth watching closely.&nbsp;</p><p>Blighted doesn’t yet have a release date, but the developer shared that we can expect it to arrive on Steam.</p><iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ frameBorder=”0″ width=”640″ height=”360″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/OGU-7zvoNfU” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay” allowfullscreen=”true”>&nbsp;</iframe>
