SLASH. BLAST. SMASH. DASH. All these verbs and extra await in ScourgeBringer, an upcoming rogue-lite platformer that channels Dead Cells-esque fight by means of a extra minimalist lens.

Developers Flying Oak Games are doing the I Am Legend factor, and I’ll eat my ominous float-
We don’t know when ScourgeBringer might be out or how a lot it would value, however be happy to wishlist it on Steam.
