Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients Combat
The game promises to deliver a satisfying combo-based combat system with a variety of ancient weapons and special abilities. Players wield the Runic Swarm to summon constructs, crush enemies with boulders, or protect themselves with a rock shield. Master light, heavy and ranged attacks. Swap armaments on the fly, block and dodge, and fill up your combo meter to unleash devastating finishers.
“With Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients our goal is to create a mystical world full of whimsical characters and creatures, like the fantasy movies we grew up with back in the 80s and 90s. Beautiful, yet with a tint of darkness” said Luis Correa, Founder & game director at C2 Game Studio. “We wanted to marry a lush, stylized world with first-rate combat, and were inspired by titles like Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, God of War and Nier Automata. Monolith is a love letter to all the grandiose action-adventure games that inspired us so much, both in our youth and to this day!”
