Scathe, a bullet-hell first-person shooter by Damage State, a three-person production firm from the same UK town as Forza Horizon 5 creator Playground Games, will be released this year for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. From February 21 to February 28, a playable PC demo will be available as part of Steam Next Fest.
Scathe is a dramatic, classic first-person shooter with powerful weapons and even more powerful demons. Scathe, Enforcer of the Legions of Hell, you were created from the soil by the Divine Creator. And, like your fallen kin before you, you’ll have to show your worth by traversing a deviously constructed maze teeming with demonic horror at every step.
So take your Hell Hammer and prepare to unleash your ferocious wrath! As you search for the Hellstones and kill the all-powerful Guardians who protect them, use Scathe’s sheer strength and tremendous speed to purge your way through Hell’s most horrific abominations.
Key Features
- Escape the Maze – Your task is simple; collect the Hellstones and escape the maze. Choose your path by navigating expertly handcrafted zones – each filled with danger around every corner. Collect runes, uncover secrets, and smite all that stand in your way.
- Bullet Hell – Scathe is no ordinary first-person shooter… Take on relentless bullet Hell-fueled combat, with deadly projectiles and countless demons at every turn. Utilise Scathe’s incredible speed to smash through your enemies and incoming fire.
- Loan ‘n Unload – Rip through your enemies with Scathe’s insanely powerful arsenal of weapons, each equipped with a devastating secondary fire. Spew hellfire with the Hot Hatch or slice through endless evil with the Bow Blade.
