Still, you cant help but wish that there was more meat to bite into.
Well, hopefully, our Everything We Know article aboutEmpyrealshould help clear any remaining cobwebs for you.
We explore the story, gameplay, development, release date, and more in the article below.
What is Empyreal?
Empyrealis an upcoming single-playeraction adventureRPG.
The developing team describes it as complex, challenging, and feature-rich.
So, there are quite a lot of promises there that we hope they manage to keep.
The battles will take place in some faraway, secluded area of the galaxy.
Youll be a part of a team of expeditioners who have just arrived on a mysterious planet.
But this isnt just any ruin discovery; the monolith harbors lots of danger.
Soon, you find yourselves on a dark path, uncovering hidden secrets and fighting hostile foes.
But exciting secrets, too, await your thorough exploration.
Youll dive into single-player, braving the dangers the Monolith throws at you.
Among the chief enemies youll face are vicious automatons.
The world youll be exploring issci-fi based, from the Monolith designs to the automatons within it.
Gameplay
Empyreals gameplay is straightforward.
All you do is survive the threats you face.
Meanwhile, youll also uncover ancient secrets, some of which are incredibly influential to the human race.
Development
Developer Silent Games and publisher Secret Mode are currently working onEmpyreal.
Silent Games specializes in creating excellent action RPGs.
Secret Mode, on the other hand, has more gaming experience.
Combined, the developing and publishing teams promise intense combat, which is showcased in the teaser trailer.
Trailer
Empyreals teaser traileris out now on YouTube.
She runs headfirst into a giant Monolith and instantly cues frenetic combat against automatons.
Using elemental-enabled weapons, looking like double-edged greatswords and laser-beam sci-fi guns, youll fight lots of heavy-armored enemies.
From single-handed to dual weapons, youll hack and slash through metal.
Sure, the combat looks intense and fun.
However, there are some hiccups you cant help but notice.
The environments, for instance, look too empty.
There are hardly enticing areas to explore and very minimal detail that bites into your intrigue.
Most of the trailer features combat that is too close up you see very little of the environment.
And perhaps a more detailed trailer will be released in the future.
Another trailer certainly wouldnt hurt, especially with the short and abrupt way the teaser trailer ends.
You could blink and miss all of the action.
We hope the cartoony aesthetic will land somehow, possibly when integrated with a compelling, mystery-ridden story.
