'Beneath Oresa' Shows Off Gameplay, Playable PC Demo Available - Trailer

Beneath Oresa is a 3D card-based fighting roguelike game.

Leveraging its 3D nature, Beneath Oresa combines RPG deck-building and “spatial’ fighting – the combat is influenced by the proximity between characters, with Mobius or European cartoon-inspired visuals for a modern experience.

Deep within the city, confront your foes in real tactical arenas. As a strategist, choose your cards, upgrades, and artifacts wisely, but as a fighter, keep your distances with your foes, engage them at the right moment and turn their positioning to your advantage. With several factions, many heroes with unique abilities, daily missions, unique game mechanics and more, this furious combination of roguelike and tactics elements will lead you deep beneath Oresa.

Each time you dive into the depths, you choose a second hero to accompany you. As a companion, each hero brings eight unique powers. With dozens of possible duos you can develop your own playstyle or try improbable duos.Do you need an expert against boss fights or a proto-blacksmith that enhances your card upgrades?

Cards don’t just get better. Each card upgrade comes with a difficult strategic choice between two upgrades. Choose wisely, depending on your deck and playstyle. A powerful bonus but only for the round? Or the same bonus but for the whole fight? Two different paths...

Position on the battlefield has never been more important! Line up enemies for super attacks, move to a different zone to avoid being hit, or position enemies to knock into each other.

Developer Broken Spear has released a playable demo for Beneath Oresa on Steam.

The team will be providing hands-on play time with the game in Boston at this week’s PAX East, starting this Thursday, April 21 through Sunday, April 24 on Booth # 16096 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

“Since we announced Beneath Oresa last Fall, the roguelike deckbuilding genre has continued to grow in popularity, which demonstrates there are many fans like us looking for this type of game,” said Renaud Bartens, creative director at Broken Spear. “While there have been some advancements in the graphics or features, we haven’t yet seen anyone the same evolutionary paths we’ve taken, so we are excited to actually get the game in players hands so they can try it for themselves.”

Key Features:

  • Fully 3D with a spatial combat system
  • Mobius-inspired art style
  • Multiple Factions or card pools, each with 3 uniquely powered heroes.
  • Companion System – choose a second hero and their skill set to accompany you
  • Forked “Cornelian dilemma” card upgrade system
  • Fully generated runs, allowing for longer game sessions (30;45 min) and greater replayability

Beneath Oresa is coming to PC (Steam) in first half of 2022 with the possibility of other platforms to follow.
