The God Slayer

New Open-World Steampunk Fantasy RPG ‘The God Slayer’ Revealed! Coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Platforms

An all-new original RPG from Pathea Games, the award-winning independent studio behind the multi-million selling ‘My Time’ series, revealed in new CGI and Gameplay Video

Chongqing, China – 4th December: Pathea Games, the studio behind the beloved life-sim series My Time, is delighted to unveil ‘The God Slayer’ – a new third-person, open-world steampunk fantasy, roleplaying game in development for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms.

Enter an Eastern-inspired steampunk metropolis where gods known as Celestials reign with a divine fist! In this premium open-world RPG, you are an Elemancer who refuses to bow to his creators. Infused with elemental powers and a heart of vengeance, you will dethrone them all. You will rise to be The God Slayer.

To get a flavour of this exciting new universe, please watch the CGI cinematic and gameplay trailer here: https://youtu.be/OqN2-oPbne4

YouTube Video.

Long ago, the god‑like Celestials created the human world and all living things in it, designing everything to cultivate a powerful force known as ‘Qi’ to fuel their eternal lives. In this new age, humanity has learned to channel that same qi energy into elemental powers, wielding fire, water, earth, metal and wood through flowing, martial‑artistry. Outraged that their divine energy is being used by mere mortals, the Celestials make a brutal example of humanity by conquering the strongest kingdom in the land in a single night — hunting down and killing the king and the kingdom’s Elemancers. An event remembered as the God Fall.

In this 40-hour story-driven campaign, players assume the role of one of these gifted Elemancers, Cheng, as he seeks to galvanise a resistance against the merciless Celestials. Imbued with a sense of power and anger at the loss of his own family during the God Fall, Cheng embarks on a journey to change his world, avenge the fallen, and slay the gods that have wronged him.

“Thematically The God Slayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, namely the My Time series,” explained Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea. “However we’ve made multiple open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish. The God Slayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by thrilling elemental combat at its core.”

Featuring a darker tone than Pathea’s previous games, The God Slayer, features freeform RPG gameplay that players love with fully customisable elemental combat, a giant capital city named Zhou to explore, factions to befriend or belittle, and mission design that enables players to make different choices in how they achieve their objectives.

This exciting new release was first mentioned as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s ‘China Hero Project’ at ChinaJoy in 2023. Over the past two years Pathea has been crafting and refining their vision to create a truly immersive open-world story-driven experience.

For a more complete feature rundown please see below:

  • A Reactive Steampunk Metropolis 
    Lose yourself in a unique fantasy steampunk setting, enhanced with Eastern flair. Set foot in the capital city of the Zhou Kingdom, an urban metropolis that is experiencing a technological revolution, with an assortment of airships, steamboats, monorails, and steam vehicles. A fortunate few in the upper class savor the miracle of air-conditioned homes and mechanical washing drums, while in the poor neighborhoods the vast majority still toil in soot-blackened factories or bow beneath the weight of noble privilege. 
  • Customisable Elemental Combat
    Combine water, earth, metal and fire to create powerful attacks and weaponry. Use these abilities to bend the environment to your whim and in direct combat. Experiment with different strategic options and create your own fully customisable fighting style to dominate enemies big and small. Every encounter is a challenge, every battle a chance to unleash thrilling elemental combos that scratch your creative itch.
  • Confront Challenges Your Way
    Missions in The God Slayer will allow players to approach them in multiple ways. For instance, players are free to attack all enemies head-on, they can bribe guards to look the other way, they can activate elemental powers to create diversions / distract enemies, they can pathfind usually hidden side routes and utilize other means to achieve their objective.
  • A Story of Vengeance
    Embark on a thrilling story-driven campaign filled with interesting characters and intriguing twists and turns. Choose your allies, inspire people across the city, and overthrow scheming gods to bring justice to the world.

The God Slayer is currently available to wishlist on Steam and Epic Games Store, with store pages for Xbox and PlayStation 5 coming soon. If you’d like to see screenshots, videos and more as development progresses, please visit The God Slayer’s official website thegodslayer.pathea.net

Pathea also invites everyone to their official Discord channel where they plan on sharing more insights into The God Slayer’s ongoing development.

Forever Skies pc 1.0

Survival games a genre of there own from being stranded on islands to fighting against nature and other people survival games have very seldom strayed from the formula keeping story’s to a minimum but today a new survival game thats graced me with there 1.0 game play has kicked things up a notch and is truly one worth playing.

First off huge thank you to Far From Home for sending me a copy of there game its been on steam early access for a while but now with its 1.0 its also available on consoles so check it out.

Humanity has abandoned earth those able to leave live in space on the Ark those left behind well they have suffered a great deal with this catastrophe. The people on the Ark are dying from a virus named the Grey Plague with no cure in sight they launch you the player back down into earth to find a cure go figure.

So on earth nature has taken over theres haze and dust everywhere and humanity lives in the sky. So what’s going on here i dont know or do I.

So you crash land at the coordinates of the last surveyors that were there on the same mission and this is where the tutorial starts showing you what to grab and what to find you manage to find a device that basically breaks items down to a molecular level at least thats the animation the items fit normally in your bag but this is how you get materials with this molecular extractor. Then you are tasked with repairing a ship and finding the resource scanner which helps you identify things and learn what they are what they do and where to find them.

Theres so much to do after the tutorial the story involves you finding the people that came before you so lots of random flying until you find new buildings and discover more. You will find random data pads some have missions other tell the stories of the people before you and continue the story mission.

This game for a survival game offers so much on the exploration building up the awesome ship you find and just chilling as you slowly float along I promise you its worth it the scenery though morbid it offers its own unique beauty.

Now onto the issues ive found the biggest being the radar map you find a radar blueprint and build it this is how you get to places easier and learn where to go but the issue is your stuck with a tiny ass screen instead of being able to blow it up much bigger like seriously then on top of that the random markers on the map have so descriptions to figure out what they are a big let down I feel the map coulda been bigger even if covered by a fog of war effect. Then materials it took me forever to find enough copper to build the next upgrade I needed cause the copper is only in one item im sorry ive passed a million things that could house copper but no they make it so scarce that its a bit demoralizing I wanted to quit plenty of times but I kept pushing I wanted that upgrade and im glad I did push forward the upgrade is a massive game changer but they need to make copper findable even in small amounts.

Other then those 2 complaints I have enjoyed my time with Forever Skies and I am thankful to be able to play it I highly recommend it to fellow survival fans and if you stopped playing cause of early access do yourself a favor go back the game is amazing.

The flying in this game is so good I wasnt sure what to expect even on mouse and keyboard you feel the resistance of the throttle engaging the ship slowing down and stopping as well as taking off and landing the flying alone is a massive win a solid 10 outta 10.

As for the story well guys I dont ruin stories you will have to play and find out, thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
