Death’s Gambit is a brutal 2D action RPG – trailer here

Adult Swim Games has announced with a new cinematic gameplay trailer that it will launch independent developer White Rabbit’s brutal, side-scrolling, monster-slaying action RPG Death’s Gambit on Aug. 14, 2018, for the PS4 and Windows PC.

Death’s Gambit raises you from the dead to serve as an agent of Death in a highly stylized, gothic world of beasts, knights, horrors, undying guardians and more. Defeat gruesome enemies and legendary bosses with an arsenal of uniquely powerful weapons and abilities in wickedly challenging battles that demand creative thinking, strategy and precise skills. Scale towering buildings and giant beasts alike with a trusty grappling hook to reach the farthest limits of the realm, and get ready to die – a lot.

Explore Siradon, a vast, unforgiving land of dark forests, medieval ruins, frozen wastes and more, each filled with treasures, secrets and twisted characters that may help or hinder your journey. Death’s Gambit delivers a non-linear adventure; discover multiples routes between areas, gaining access to new surprises with every challenge overcome.

Players can preorder Death’s Gambit now for PC via Steam for $19.99 to get the “Chosen of Death Pack” DLC, which includes an exclusive shield and scythe plus a special skin for your steed.
