City of Brass, a hack n’ slash adventure from former Bioshock developers Uppercut Games, is heading to PS4 quite soon.
The dual-wielding rogue-lite adventure will land on PS4 May 4 2018, and there’s a brand new trailer to show off the game’s hectic action.
In City of Brass you take on the role of a daring thief who has entered the ill-fated city in search of treasure. Of course this is a video game, so you find it filled with traps, terrors and an evil curse that forces you to die and be reborn over and over again.
Uppercut’s Ed Orman describes the game as follows on the PlayStation Blog,
Armed with scimitar and a whip that can grab, trip, disarm, stun or shatter as well as swing, you'll lash and slash, bait and trap your way through hordes of undead, collecting treasures and powerful relics as you struggle to reach the center of the city and break the curse. You'll also encounter Genies who will provide their services - for a price.
With the ability to sprint, crouch, slide, leap and vault, you'll quickly become accustomed to fluidly moving and fighting through the city. The city shifts and changes every time you play, and we've provided tools to allow players to tune the challenge to the level that you are comfortable with. We're really looking forward to finally getting City of Brass into your hands!
The multi-faceted whip and slashing scimitar look like a tantalising combo, and the rouge-lite elements involved in the shifting city, if done right, could make for a compelling hack n’ slash with a difference.
I guess we shall see very soon!
