About HEAVEN SEEKER: The Savior of This Cruel World
While SUCCESS has not yet confirmed the game’s release date, a free demo for HEAVEN SEEKER will be available on PC on September 21. The demo will feature two playable characters: Sophilia and Yasaka. It will also include dungeon exploration up to Stage 3, three types of shots, and approximately 20 types of shot customization items.
Here’s their official description of the upcoming title via SUCCESS’ website:
HEAVEN SEEKER: The Savior of This Cruel World a roguelike shooting game. Set in a fantasy world, the player chooses one of several adventurers in search of hidden treasures to begin the search and challenge dungeons. The dungeon interior is randomly generated each time the player enters, so the player must be flexible. Players can freely combine more than 20 customizable items to create their own unique magic and explore the dungeon. The goal is to completely conquer the dungeon through repeated exploration.
Key Features
- Explore a Dungeon That Changes Each Time You Enter It – This game uses the left stick for movement and the right stick for aiming. It’s a bullet hell shooter where you freely control your character to explore random dungeons. When your HP reaches zero, you will lose all the items you have gained during this exploration. By exploring many times, recognizing room patterns and enemy traits, players gain experience.
- Create Your Own Magic Shot – The shots fired by the player character can be modified by freely combining over 20 customization items. Items are obtained randomly with each exploration, so each time players enter a dungeon, they will fight with a different “personal shot.
- Pixel Art Style Game Visuals – The visuals of this game are all drawn in high-quality pixel art, including player characters, enemies, dungeons, and all other in-game elements. Some elements are not pixel art.
- Japanized Beautiful Girl Characters – In the roguelike genre, which often features Western titles in the style of American comic books, this game will especially appeal to those who like Japanese anime characters.
Lastly, HEAVEN SEEKER: The Savior of This Cruel World will release for PC at some point next year. SUCCESS will release a free demo on the game’s Steam page on September 21.
