Indie developer C2 Game Studio and publisher Versus Evil (@vs_evil) have released an all new demo for their third-person action-RPG game Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients on Steam. The game is currently scheduled to launch on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC in early 2024. Play the demo available now on Steam!

Journey across an expansive, colorful world, full of mystery and danger. Abandoned ruins and derelict temples from a long forgotten era pepper the landscape, teasing mysterious tales that you must uncover. Aided by an enigmatic presence, Astor will dive into an intricate storyline filled with iconic and endearing characters. Explore deep forests, sprawling deserts, frozen tundras, and crumbling ancient structures as you embark upon a globe-trotting adventure.

This demo teases Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients‘ rich, deeply satisfying combo-based combat system with a variety of ancient weapons and special abilities. Wield the Runic Swarm to summon constructs, crush enemies with massive boulders, or protect himself with a rock formation shield. Master light, heavy and ranged attacks, swap armaments on the fly, block and dodge with precision, and fill up your combo meter to unleash devastating finishers.

“We wanted Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients to capture the wonder and whimsy of 80s fantasy films, but with the complex, combo-heavy combat of something like Devil May Cry, God of War, or Nier Automata,” said Luis Correa, Founder & game director at C2 Game Studio. “We hope this demo gives people a taste of the type of action we’re going for, though the final game will obviously include far more exploration.”

Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients will be available for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC (Steam) in early 2024.
