I’ve to confess I’m a bit of fearful of Sulfur. I’m a fan of basic FPS video games like Doom, ARPGs like Diablo, and roguelikes like Shattered Pixel Dungeon. So a sport that mixes points of all three kinds of sport into one appears harmful to me. It feels that if I dare play it I’ll turn out to be misplaced, eternally sucked into its world. That risk is now very actual, as Sulfur is out now in Steam Early Entry and able to be performed.
Whereas Sulfur could be very a lot an FPS, it’s received quite a bit happening other than simply blasting foes with no matter weapon you’ve both discovered or cobbled collectively. It’s additionally a roguelike, the place you delve ever deeper into mysterious areas searching for loot, gear, and solutions earlier than extracting again to your base – or dying, after all. If that weren’t all it’s an RPG too, with all of the stock administration and NPC interactions you may ever ask for. It’s a heady combine – however that’s not all it’s received going for it.
The best way Sulfur presents itself is in contrast to practically the rest on the market. It has a cartoonish artwork fashion the place enemies, loot, and the degrees themselves are proven in daring, blocky colours. It’s painterly fashion jogs my memory of Dishonored, if that immersive sim weren’t so grim and as an alternative had colourful goblins working at you making an attempt to gnaw your legs off.
With a depraved, satirical humorousness that drips out of each pore and a soundtrack that fairly merely slaps, Sulfur is a really harmful trying sport certainly. Additionally there’s a automobile. I’m undecided the place the automobile suits in however it’s there, and it seems you may drive it.
Sulfur is out now in early entry. Should you’d prefer to test it out for your self, and see what the sport’s developer has deliberate over the approaching months, head over to Steam to be taught extra.
