It’s been a while since we last heard a peep from Alkahest, but we’ve now received another peep, and a very juicy one at that. The first-person medieval fantasy RPG is back with a brief gameplay teaser that certainly whets the appetite, showing off dynamic, combo-driven combat inspired by Dishonored, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.
In Alkahest, you play as the youngest son of a petty lord who is not your typical RPG hero. You’ll explore castles, forests, and villages, while meeting the locals and making impactful decisions. In addition to melee and ranged weapons, combat also is heavily reliant on the interactive environment and surrounding objects. And of course, with a name like Alkahest, alchemy will be a key gameplay system, be it crafting throwables, weapon oils, or perhaps a little something to drop into an NPCs pocket.
Perhaps the most welcome news is that a new publishing agreement with Hype Train Digital means the game is coming to PlayStation and Xbox, in addition to PC, though no release date has been announced. Can't wait. Check out the new teaser below:
