SOULBREAKER - WHAT WE KNOW
SOULBREAKER is an action hack-n-slash roguelite inspired by games such as HADES and Cult of the lamb with relationship building elements set in the Bellowing Wilds.
You play as an unnamed protagonist (who I will be referring to as The Soulbreaker during this post) fighting through an everchanging infected world. You will meet enemies and friends, you will find new items and new monsters, and it is up to you to determine the fate of the inhabitants of the Bellowing Wilds.
SOULBREAKER is NOT Fool's Gold: Dice Death and Dating, as shown in its teaser trailer when they literally destroy the dice death and dating logo. It is however heavily related. Assets from dice death and dating will most likely be reused, alongside the friendship building and dating mechanics. Buff jack is here to stay!
As for theorising, the infection shown within the trailer appears to be related to the mercury dragon, as seem with its silvery appearance and a WHOLE lotta eyes. Which fits very well with the name "SOULBREAKER". This however brings into question our role in this all as THE Soulbreaker.
As seen here (and in their walk sprite) we appear to be partially made of/wielding the mercury infection, (though in a more structurally sound form). As well, it seems it can change shape, as the walk sprite has a mercury helmet, and not chestplate, while the helmetless artwork has a chestplate. Credence is lead to their power being related to the mercury infection via this concept art below by Avery, which has the filename of "mercury"
(also gives credence to the idea that the mercury can change form)
So far not much else about them or the infection is known, as all we have to go off is what we've been told in the discord, the steam page, and the teaser trailer, but we have been told we're going to be getting more updates, and a kickstarter (and demo!!!) this year and I am VERY excited.
Thanks for reading through and please reblog if you have anything else to add!
