Jump into the world of Morkull and experience the thrilling gameplay ahead of the game’s launch!
Developed by Disaster Games, Morkull Ragast’s Rage is an exciting 2D action game that combines platforming and action with a touch of exploration. Take control of Morkull, God of Death and Darkness and Lord of the Ragast, and get ready to experience awesome gameplay mechanics that allow him to break the fourth wall and communicate with the player in some exciting and unexpected ways!
It’s time to take a closer look at our protagonist, Morkull, the God of Death and Darkness, in the all-new animated trailer with the added bonus of some action-packed new gameplay sprinkled in for good measure!
Get ready to play as Morkull, the villain of this story who has some interesting knowledge. . . He knows that he is a character in a video game. He also knows the existence of a player who controls him (that is, you) and he knows of some developers who have created him (that is, us).
Your objective? Help Morkull escape from the Ragast so he can rule and carry out his evil plans around the world. Yep, that’s right. your typical cliché villain….
Art and animation – Morkull Ragast ‘s Rage is completely hand-drawn and animated frame by frame. Inspired and influenced by traditional animated films and other two-dimensional video games. This traditional animation endows the entire cast of characters with great naturalness and life within.
Break out of the fourth wall – What makes the game special is Morkull himself, his personality and character along with that fourth wall break that allows him to talk to players as if he were right there. We have endowed Morkull with great charisma and personality, constantly generating a lighthearted atmosphere, loaded with constant humour, bad jokes and pop culture references.
Combat system – You’ll have your own hands and all the power that comes with being the God of Death and Darkness of course… plus you’ll have a wide selection of combos and abilities that will allow you to fight your way through the deepest corners of the Ragast.
Morkull Ragast’s Rage will be digitally published by SelectaPlay in 2024 for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
