Press release:
BEIJING — Feb. 15, 2023.
The Beijing-based (China) indie games publisher Thermite Games and Shanghai-based indie games developer Melancholia Studio, are today very excited and happy to announce that their gory medieval roguelike fighting RPG “Corpse Keeper”, is now available for PC via Steam Early Access! (the game is also arriving on the Epic Game Store this February)

Assemble an unholy trio of rotting corpses to confront and destroy the demon haunting the city of Lenste in this dark and oppressing medieval world. Manage flesh and bone across 30 cursed characters, each with distinct traits, and fend off decay while upgrading the undead squad’s attributes.

Carve and hack a path to victory with realistic sword-fighting mechanics, and harvest the flesh of fallen foes to extend the life of undead soldiers. Even the playing field with perfectly-timed dashes, parrying tactics, and upgradeable weapons with special abilities.

Battle evil and time itself, carefully managing resources with a devilish level of detail for both exploration and combat. Held together by only black magic, the rotting flesh of the terrifying triad worsens with every passing moment. Mounting levels of decay eventually render each warrior useless, but “preservatives” can help stave off the inevitable.

Adapt to each challenge with an ever-changing rotation of temporary ghoulish grunts. Study the horrifying enemies and the ominous surrounding areas before every battle to craft the perfect plan of attack. Enlist new Grave Keepers, Knights, Plague Doctors and Assassins to replenish ranks, and explore six eerie areas in a hunt for the demon presiding over the cathedral.

“Corpse Keeper shakes up expected roguelike traditions by requiring adaptability from each decaying squad,” said HC Li, Producer, Melancholia Studio.

“We can’t wait to see all kinds of strategies, builds, and squad combinations tested out in Early Access.”

Corpse Keeper is now available on Steam Early Access for $19.99 USD/19.50 EUR and supports English, Simp. Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese language options, and coming to the Epic Games Store this February.
