Private Division and Moon Studios have announced that their upcoming ARPG No Rest for the Wicked is primed for an April 18th early access release date. The team has gone on record about why this game is a single-player ARPG fan’s best bet.
Among other things, players will be thrilled to hear that NRftW will not feature microtransactions of any kind. According to a recent blog post, this “underscores Moon Studios’ commitment to providing players with a complete and immersive gaming experience.” In addition, the game will not require an online connection to play, and there will be no anti-cheat bloatware attached to the game files. If that doesn’t scream “play me,” nothing does.
Features include
- Brutal Precision-Based Combat: Hone combat skills with a system that challenges you to be deliberate and strategic. Battle against gruesome creatures, enemy soldiers, and punishing bosses in tense, visceral combat. Feel the weight and speed of each weapon through their own move sets. Enchant armaments with runes, craft rare armor, and create bespoke character builds that fit your playstyle.
- An Epic, Human Saga: Discover a mature, dark narrative on the harsh shores of Isola Sacra. Cunning rulers and ferocious rebels vie for the throne – all while an ancient plague sweeps across the land, turning its inhabitants into monstrous versions of themselves.
- A Hand-Crafted World: Explore a painting come to life – take in the striking painterly world, meticulously built with an incredible attention to detail in a unique, ageless art style. Beauty radiates in every frame, from the dappled sunlight of the Lowland Meadows to the viscera-smeared, twisted shadows of the Nameless Pass. Each new location is home to its own people, problems, hidden treasures, and secrets to unearth.
- A Moment’s Respite: Take respite in the town of Sacrament – purchase property and decorate it to make it your own. Fish on the shores, till and harvest the land for ingredients to create meals that replenish health and boost stats. Acquaint yourself with the diverse array of vendors and townsfolk and restore Sacrament to its former glory.
- Online Multiplayer: Share your world and progress with up to three friends by your side in the campaign’s online co-op mode. Every quest, boss, and square foot of Isola Sacra is theirs to share with you…or they can simply venture off and do as they please.
Developers are excited to announce that the game will be available for $35.99 for the first two weeks of release. Players can also leverage an affiliate discount of $4 additional dollars off. After the first two weeks of release, the game will return to its regular price of $39.99.
