Is there a release date?

No, there is currently no confirmed release date. The God Slayer’s Steam store page lists the launch timing as “to be announced.”

Story

The God Slayer takes place in a Steampunk world where gods designed humans to cultivate special energy that would return to the heavens after death. However, when some humans learned to harness this energy as elemental power and became Elemancers, the Celestials struck back with devastating force.

You play as Cheng, an Elemancer who seeks revenge on the gods for the death of his family. It’s up to you to the Celestial gods and “rise to be the God Slayer.”

Gameplay

As shown in the seven-minute gameplay trailer, players can use elemental abilities to take down their enemies in flashy martial arts-inspired combat. Cheng uses his fiery fists to pummel soldiers, soaks groups of enemies with water before freezing them, rips slabs of earth from the ground to hurl as projectiles, and even raises stone walls mid-fight to block attacks.

While unarmed combat takes centre stage, players will also be able to wield weapons dropped from defeated foes, including a massive hammer that can send enemies flying.

Progression also revolves around mastering qi, unlocking skills from scrolls and elemental masters, and strengthening Cheng enough to challenge the godly Celestials.

System requirements

Full system requirements for The God Slayer haven’t been listed yet, so we’ll update this section as and when the developers provide any updates.
