Summerfall Studios, the creative minds behind Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, are back with a thrilling announcement about their latest venture, Malys, a roguelike deckbuilding game set to launch in 2025. Although the exact platforms for its release remain a mystery, excitement is building as they prepare to kick off a Kickstarter campaign this month. This initiative aims to secure additional development time and foster unique opportunities for communication and collaboration with the community.
According to Liam Esler, Managing Director of Summerfall Studios, the team is devoted to crafting innovative stories that captivate players. Malys is set to deliver an immersive and strategic gameplay experience that stands out in its genre. Esler expresses enthusiasm about sharing the project with fans, emphasizing that the community’s involvement will provide the final touch needed to perfect the game.
Taking center stage in Malys is Noah, a former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, navigating a city overrun with demons in a compelling fight against darkness. Players will have the chance to build and enhance a deck of arcane techniques, navigating a labyrinth of choices and challenges. The ultimate goal? Exorcise evil and rescue the innocent, one card at a time.
With a narrative crafted by David Gaider, known for his work on the Dragon Age series and Summerfall’s Stray Gods, Malys offers a fresh twist on the roguelite genre, combining dark storytelling with intense, strategic gameplay. The Kickstarter campaign not only funds the final phase of development but also invites players to participate in refining the game’s immersive experience before it hits the shelves.
This upcoming release promises a unique blend of story, strategy, and community involvement, marking another ambitious chapter for Summerfall Studios and an exciting journey for players worldwide. As anticipation grows, all eyes are on the Kickstarter’s launch as fans eagerly await an opportunity to shape the future of Malys.
