Covenant: This Is What a Soulslike FPS Can Be! [VIDEO]

Legion Studios has released a new video of their first-person shooter, which is still only announced for one platform…

 

Covenant is a first-person dark fantasy action-adventure game where you’ll roam a vast, interconnected world, passing through kingdoms and perils – discovering fighting stances, spells, weapons, and equipment forged by the men of renown, heroes of old. Experience creation through the eyes of the last living messenger – a warrior angel sent to carry out the will of the Composers. The oldest of your kind, Malach, has fallen into the abyss, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. You must follow in the footsteps of his final days to uncover the nature of his fall – and in doing so, reveal the dormant powers within Creation.

Creation is a vast and interconnected land of myth. Discover shortcuts, use keys, and explore hidden paths to uncover every last secret. Puzzles, riddles, platforming, and exploration are all part of the journey. Creatures from fallen empires and long lost heroes stand in your way. Some require strategy. Some require weapons. Some demand a duel. Still others must be challenged with friends. Kick, grab, roll, and execute anyone who gets in your way. Skillfully pivot your slide around corners and down slopes, kick or jump off walls, and alternate between rolling and side-stepping in intimate duels. These are easy to use, but take time to master.

Compete against other players for glory in one-on-one, two-on-two, and three-on-three arenas. Each weapon can be upgraded multiple times to unlock hidden abilities, traits, and catalysts. The Souslike one-hand/two-handed system is present. Change the attributes of each gun, sword, and tool at your disposal. Change hand shapes to adapt your fighting style to the situation + hone your own creative play style. 2-Handing unlocks powerful weapon abilities, but makes you less agile. Stances don’t just change your elemental affinity – they change your entire fighting style, down to the way you run, jump, kick, and slide. Each stance play style is drastically different. And each can take a lifetime to master. Powerful build options between four ring slots, stances, weapons, spells, garbs, catalysts, and more. Become a messenger of death as weapons are upgraded, spells become more powerful, and combat stances are revealed.

Covenant has only been announced for PC, and there is no word on when it will be released.
