The now-officially-announced NAMMO is a soulslike boss rush game that, according to developer Guild Studio, is “set during Korea’s Silla Dynasty, which spanned from 57 BC to AD 935 (nearly a millennium). It combines a dark fantasy world with a Soulslike boss-rush experience.”
NAMMO promises “tight 2D combat with brutal, mythology-inspired bosses and precision parries” in which you’ll “use ‘the Eye of Spirit’ to reveal hidden paths, boss weaknesses, and alternate storylines.” And it’s all rendered in handcrafted pixel art. Check out the official announcement trailer below.
The story is described as follows: “Born in an ancient Korean kingdom, Nammo grew up under the warm and loving care of Junjeong, who was like a sister to her. The two became beloved by their people, and blossomed into flower-like beauties. But fate twisted cruelly beneath the moonlight. With nothing but sorrow in her eyes, Junjeong struck, slashing Nammo’s eyes and leaving her blind. After waking up in an unfamiliar cave, Nammo starts on a journey to uncover the truth behind Junjeong’s betrayal.”
You can wishlist NAMMO on Steam if you’re interested.
