Lightbulb Crew Announces Ex Sanguis

Developer Lightbulb Crew has announced its latest title, Ex Sanguis. The game is a strategy rougelite and sees the studio return to a style similar to previous title Othercide. It is planned to release first on Steam Early Access, with a full PC release and console versions to follow. A public playtest is currently available to join on Steam.

Ex Sanguis is set in a dying world drained by the Purge and the forces of Stasis. Players control a group of elite warriors known as Stillae, attempting to restore the flow of life. The game features dynamic turn-based combat where players attempt to form chains of events by using timeline effects to time actions and impact turn order as well as utilise environmental and position effects such as knockbacks and flanking bonuses. During each run, players can choose to take on high-risk missions for grater rewards, leap straight into boss fights, or spend time gathering resources. As they progress through procedural levels, players obtain random skill drops, and earn overall progress even if they fall.
