Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Releases July 18th

Developer A44 Games (Ashen) and publisher Kepler Interactive (Cat Quest III) are coming together for what could be one of the biggest hits of the summer: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn‘s four-word elevator pitch is “explosive indie Souls-lite”. Set in the world of Kian, disaster strikes as the Door to the Great Below has been opened and now the Gods and their armies of the Dead are loose. Players take control of Nor Vanek, an elite member of the Coalition army. Aided by her mysterious companion, Enki, Nor embarks on an epic journey to make amends and reseal the Gods to save humanity.

You know the drill by now: check out the Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn trailer from this weekend, overview details (via the game’s official website), and key screenshots below.
