We just announced Brut@l for PS4 at PlayStation Experience!

Hello!

You may have noticed we tend to keep quiet on social media but today we’re very excited to not only be at PlayStation Experience, but to have the chance to share the main stage during the Sony press conference to announce our latest title, Brut@l, a retro themed roguelike that we’ll be launching onto the PlayStation 4 in early 2016.

In Brut@l you will choose your hero: Ranger, Mage, Warrior or Amazon then descend into a procedurally generated world constructed entirely from ASCII. Your goal? Reach the 26th floor, vanquish the fearsome Guardian of the Dungeon and claim his crown.

What does a world constructed entirely from ASCII look like you ask? Well, in all honestly we thought you would! This trailer we revealed at PlayStation Experience should (hopefully!) answer all your questions!

The game will also feature systems such as Crafting, Enchanting, Potion Brewing as well as a leveling system that allows you to choose skills that complement your playstyle. Each of these systems we’ll breakdown into more depth over the coming weeks and months to give you a better idea of what to expect as you traverse this Brut@l ASCII dungeon.

As well as evoking a sense of nostalgia in many gamers with our art direction we wanted to re-live some of the best gaming moments we’ve personally had over the last decade, there  was only one way to do that, local co-op. Share the adventure by exploring Brut@l’s dungeon with a friend and lay waste to the hordes of enemies that stand between you and floor 26, evoking the nostalgia of all night gaming sessions from years past. Just don’t blame us if your buddy keeps all the good weapons for himself!

To top it all off we’ll also have a level editor, allowing you to craft your own ASCII themed dungeon floors and share them with friends. We’ll be sharing more on this in the future and we’re very excited about the idea of players creating their own content and sharing it with the world.

This Is Brut@l
