Ex Sanguis Receives New Trailer

Lightbulb Crew released a new trailer for its upcoming strategy roguelite Ex Sanguis. The minute-long video shows the game’s 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. It also highlights the game’s greyscale and red visual style similar to the studio’s previous title Othercide.

The developer also announced that an updated playtest for the game is live on Steam. The updated playtest includes a new City biome and a new Destruction mission type as well as a new enemy type, team management options, and more. The game is planned to release in Steam Early Access, published by Firesquid, soon.

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. During each run, players can choose to take on high-risk missions for greater 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.
