Press release:
LONDON, UK – July 16, 2024.
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Fireshine Games and L.A.-based (the US) indie games developer Metamorphosis Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their retro-like 2D platformer/ARPG “Gestalt: Steam & Cinder”, is now available for PC via Steam.

Published by Fireshine Games and executive produced by gaming personalities Jesse Cox and Brooke “Dodger” Thorne, Gestalt: Steam and Cinder immerses players within an elaborate, steam-powered world as they embark on a gripping mission to reforge humanity’s future.

Take up arms as Aletheia, an elite Soldner of the Steam City of Canaan, wielding long-lost tech and mysterious power to smash through monsters and machines, and uncover ancient secrets that lie at the very foundation of Canaan. Enter a world of rust and ruin, where deep enmities smoulder and suppressed threats reemerge, working with allies new and old to protect Canaan and unlock your true potential. Take on side jobs, unlock new skills, upgrade your abilities, earn Scrap, and delve into a history lost to time, as you fight for the very future of Canaan–and humankind.

Features:

Become a Soldner – Join Aletheia on a heroic quest through Canaan, the Steam City. Combine close-quarters melee with lethal ranged gun combat to unleash staggering combos in challenging encounters and epic boss fights.

Unleash Your Inner Flame – Discover the long-buried past of Canaan and uncover secrets lost to time on a thrilling, unpredictable journey.

Unlock Powerful Skills – Discover and upgrade new abilities and skills to become an unstoppable force against enemies both new and long-forgotten, trading scrap for new accessories to customise your character build.

A Beautiful, Handcrafted World – Meet a vibrant cast of characters and journey through a world of stunning pixel art and spectacular handcrafted animations.
