Hey there folks, VS Renee here with an exciting announcement to share with the community…
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients demo is now live!
Let’s quickly jump into some notes to help you enjoy your experience in Gliese to its fullest!
MONOLITH: REQUIEM OF THE ANCIENTS
Demo Announcement & Notes
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients is a highly-stylized, action-RPG set within the vibrant, mystical world of Gliese. It will release on PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X & Nintendo Switch in early 2024.
We are excited to announce that a playable demo will be available to the public as of today, and throughout the entirety of Steam Next Fest that begins on October 9th!
In the demo, your journey begins as Astor, who is right at the beginning of their epic adventure!
Astor’s search for ancient secrets leads them to the Temple of Soma, a derelict structure ripe for exploration. Will you unearth the answers you seek, or will the path be fraught with peril?
Becoming the savior of the planet is a formidable undertaking, and at this early chapter in Astor’s journey, they have much to learn. A tutorial will introduce you to the fundamentals of combat, setting the stage for the challenges that lie ahead. As you progress deeper into the game, mastering these techniques becomes paramount for survival.
Nevertheless, the journey offers opportunities for growth!
Throughout the demo, you can acquire additional skills and upgrades, gradually enhancing Astor’s capabilities. Most importantly, you’ll unlock a major ability – the Runic Blast. This skill allows you to summon a surge of arcane energy with a multitude of practical uses. Whether as a ranged attack, a means to unseal doors, or even a tool to interact with mechanisms, the Runic Blast will become an invaluable asset in your quest for answers and glory.
An epic tale of good and evil is in the midst of unfolding…
Rise, young hero. The fate of a world awaits.
Notes & Known Issues:
– The demo is only available in English, but the full game will support French, German, Spanish – Spain, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese – Brazil, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish – Latin America & Traditional Chinese for interface & subtitles.
– Although the demo is pretty solid overall, we’re still tidying up and fixing bugs. It is a work-in-progress and is not representative of the final product.
– We’re still applying tweaks to balance gameplay, so some elements may feel a bit too easy or too hard at times right now. Let us know how it feels to you!
– Control remapping is planned, but still WIP in this build.
