A Polish action slasher with a TPP camera, based on the world known from the books of the writer Michal Golkowski. In Sancticide we play as Ezechiel - a sin collector tasked with seeking and punishing sinners during the biblical Apocalypse.
Sancticide is an indie hack'n'slash game with RPG and roguelite elements. The game takes place in a world created by Michal Golkowski for the book series "The Sin Collector". This project is a t work of two Polish companies, which have previously worked on titles based on the writer's work. We are talking about Red Square Games (The Sin Collector: Repentless).
The game presents a dark vision of the world in which humanity faces the biblical Apocalypse. The earth is close to annihilation, nations have fallen, and the survivors have turned against each other. Despite this, the divine plan turned out to be a failure. Despite what "The Top" expected people are not at all eager to go to Heaven. Instead, they do everything to stay alive. Someone had to finally bring order, which is why the Sin Collector Corps was created - mortal debt executors at the service of the Guardian Angels.
The protagonist of Sancticide is Ezechiel, a fresh official of "The Top". The hero will have to face not only the collection of sins, but also his own suffering. The main plot focuses on these issues, while side quests allow for a deeper dive into the daily life of sin collectors.
Sancticide is a third-person action game with combat as its central part. Assuming the role of Ezechiel, we can use various types of melee (including the gladius sword) and long-range weapons. During the fights we perform directional strikes and use combos, which allows us to handle even bigger groups of opponents.
We also use the hero's special abilities related to his profession. The key skill of a sin collector is mastering the Purple, a supernatural power that allows to influence the environment. The powers of Ezechiel are divided into three types: kinetic (allowing the move beings or objects), active (sowing destruction or manipulating perception), and ive (ing our character).
An important element of Sancticide is the question of how "The Top" determines what or who is acceptable or condemned. In the game we encounter characters and items belonging to the Kosher or Non-Kosher group. This division affects the ways of solving quests, relationships between characters, equipment or available locations.
