Co-op to come post-launch
The two Ori games were gorgeous platformers that challenged your dexterity while tugging on your heartstrings. The next game from developers Moon Studios seems more likely to do the former than the latter.No Rest For The Wickedis a Souls-ish action RPG that apparently thinks you’reextremelywicked.
It also got a release date today during a showcase stream: April 18th.
Here’s the full showcase:

Katharine already got herhands on the first 90 minutes of NRFTW, in which she described getting whomped by powerful enemies while getting to grips with the dodge-and-parry, but still being compelled to persevere:
Personally, I found Ori a bit too punishing, particularly in its in-my-eyes ill-communicated chases and boss fights, such that I never bothered to persevere with it despite the rave reviews. I suspectNo Rest For The Wickedisn’t for me, then, but it is still gorgeous to look at. Moon Studios know how to make a storm.
