Press release:
Badajoz, Spain / Giebelstadt, Germany, 13th August 2022
The Giebelstadt-based (Germany) HandyGames and the Badajoz-based (Spain) indie games developer Viral Studios, today announced with great delight and excitement that their brutal action-adventure roguelite “Lethal Honor – Order of the Apocalypse“, is in development for PC (Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch).

Slay hordes of eldritch creatures in relentless isometric close quarter battles with an art style reminiscent of the 1980s dark age of adult superhero graphic novels. Set in a shady and beset post-apocalyptic world you play various characters to unfold a complex story. With countless abilities, a dozen combat styles, and several secondary mechanics, every run is like a new issue of a comic book series!

“Life is short and death is permanent”

Lethal Honor’s progression model is a new take on rogue-lites. Select comic panels are seamlessly integrated into the gameplay to structure your routes passing procedural runs. With every run and every death, you come closer to waking one of the main characters each with their own story to play. Kill or be killed, run or be run over, give in return but never give up!

Prepare to discover the truth! Welcome to Lethal Honor – Order of the Apocalypse!

Lethal Honor will come to PC, PlayStation, XBox, and Nintendo Switch!

Features:

Brutal isometric Hack and Slay rogue-lite gameplay
Gritty hand-drawn dark age graphic novel art style combined with 3D scenarios: CONFRONT THE COMIC!
Several different biomes and main characters with their own storyline, abilities, and playstyles
