London-based Stronghold developer Firefly Studios have announced a game that is somewhat of a departure from their castle-strategy franchise.
The new PC game, titled simply MetaMorph, has players progressing through a strategic dungeon crawler that “rewards character switching, elemental counters and crowd control,” while also challenging you to solve the “puzzle” of each encounter. Featured above, you can view the game’s announcement trailer.
Developed within the company’s new Firefly Labs team, you’ll be able to traverse increasingly challenging dungeons rife with fire imps, vengeful wisps and hulking golems. Literally everything is trying to kill you in this game.
Here are the game’s key features:
- Morph between powerful spirit forms, shapeshifting to counter and crush enemy hordes.
- Master tactical combat in an adventure that rewards strategic choices over button mashing.
- Explore hostile dungeons infested with demons, grotesque experiments and vengeful spirits.
- Customize your heroes’ ability loadouts and team composition before braving each hellish lair.
- Banish Death’s horde to the nether realm with each hero’s unique powers and attributes.
It’s worth pointing out the core Firefly team will continue working on Stronghold titles including Stronghold Kingdoms mobile, Stronghold 2: Steam Edition as well as their new mainline Stronghold title for PC.
MetaMorph is launching sometime later this year via Steam Early Access, with a worldwide full release sometime in early 2018.
