This official release expands its reach to multiple platforms, including PC (Steam) and consoles such as PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. In particular, it is scheduled to support seamless gameplay on the Nintendo Switch 2 through backward compatibility.
The new gameplay trailer, released alongside the confirmation of the release date, perfectly captures the game’s core appeal. ‘Bloodrush: Undying Wish’ is garnering high expectations from many genre fans with its dark and alluring Gothic-style pixel graphics, captivating soundtrack, and non-stop hack-and-slash combat.
The punishment of eternal life where death has vanished… A roguelite action game with a strong emphasis on story
The setting of the game is a tragic world slowly decaying after ‘Death’ has been imprisoned. Here, humanity is unable to face death and suffers from eternal pain, aging, starvation, and terrible diseases. It is a world where immortality has become not a blessing, but a cruel punishment that never ends.
The player embarks on a journey with the weighty mission of reclaiming the lost Death and eliminating the masterminds behind its imprisonment. While spectacular combat and roguelite-style gameplay take center stage, a deep narrative also serves as a core pillar of the game.
The player fights against the ‘Cult of Eternity’ that has plunged the world into turmoil, gradually uncovering the true reason Death was imprisoned, the motives the cult is hiding, and the reality of the philosophy they blindly believe in.
“Stay still and you will die”… Supports 6 types of weapons and accessibility options
The player’s health gradually decreases over time. To survive, you must seamlessly weave through enemies by chaining continuous combos and movement skills, and recover health by defeating them. The Steam store page also highlights this unique system, where standing still eventually leads to death, as a core feature of the game.
There is also a variety of build combinations that offer new fun in every match. Players can create a completely different combat style each time by combining a total of six types of weapons with diverse Talents, Combat Arts, and enhancement elements.
In addition, it offers a wide range of accessibility options, such as aim assist, difficulty adjustment, and combat speed settings, and also supports an on/off function for users who find violent content, such as ‘blood splattering,’ uncomfortable.
Polished by over 30 patches… The ending revealed in the official version
The developer actively incorporated community feedback during the early access period and released over 30 patches.
In addition to continuous bug fixes, balance adjustments, and usability improvements, some abilities were completely redesigned. The developers explained that the game’s technical and visual elements have changed beyond recognition compared to the initial launch.
This official version will introduce the final boss battle and new playable weapons that have been shrouded in mystery until now. Along with this, the final conclusion of the central story and the secrets surrounding the key characters are also set to be finally revealed.
However, the specific scale of the content was not confirmed in the data released this time.
