Press release:
The Colorado-based (the US) indie games developer Third Sphere Game Studios today announced with great thrill and joy that their Souls-like 2D ARPG “Watcher Chronicles” is now available for PC via Steam for 15 Euros.

Indie studio Third Sphere Game Studios announces that their 2D souls-like action-RPG Watcher Chronicles is now available on Steam for $20/€20, with a launch discount of 10% during the first week. Players can also get the game’s sountrack for $5/€5 (with another 10% discount during the first week). The game blends the characteristic souls-like fast skill-based combat with RPG elements, and will also feature a local co-op multiplayer mode to play with a friend.

In the darkest depths of the Purgatory, forces of evil have allied to turn this intermediate state into a new Hell, punishing all the lost souls that wander there in search of expiatory purification.

Our brave hero will have to battle his way through this wretched abyss, fighting against hordes of nightmarish enemies and more than 20 merciless bosses to prevent them from carrying out their malicious plan. Death is a hero’s destiny: prepare to die… a lot.
