Retro-Inspired Action-Adventure Vessels of Decay Launches Today Across All Platforms
Today, publisher Headup[ and developers [iSimon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks are launching their post-apocalyptic pixel art Action-Adventure Vessels of Decay on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
Vessels of Decay is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure following the story of Freja and Mud. In this retro-inspired tale, you’ll confront creatures of Scandinavian myth and folklore and explore the ruins of the civilization they inhabit. The handcrafted pixel world, full of decay and wonder, invites exploration-and when that leads to trouble, the game delivers with a fast-paced combat system, flashy finishers, and epic, multi-phase boss battles.
Features of Vessels of Decay include:
Dynamic Battle System: How you execute combat - and how your enemies perish - is entirely up to you!
Unique Finishers: Every new enemy is a new opportunity for you to show your flair for combat; stagger your foes to set them up for (literally) killer animations and flourishes.
Epic Multi-Stage Boss Encounters: The beasts of Scandinavian folklore will not let themselves be put down easily, and you’ll have to use your wits and reflexes to pursue and slay them!
Explore A Beautiful World of Pixels, Death, and Decay: Vessels of Decay is an entirely handcrafted world, with care and thought poured into each and every scene, story beat, and environment.
A Scandinavian Take on Classic Action-Adventure: The battered ruins of a once-modern society clash with the renewed growth of nature and the supernatural. Explore a uniquely Scandinavian setting through reflective melancholy, exploration, and fast-paced action.
