Blighted: A Promising New Soulslike with Unique Mechanics
On June 2024, DrinkBox Studios announced the upcoming release of Blighted, a new Soulslike game available on Steam. Set in a dark, atmospheric world, Blighted introduces innovative gameplay mechanics that differentiate it from traditional Soulslike titles. The game features a unique “corruption” system that affects both player abilities and enemy behavior, adding strategic depth to combat encounters.
According to the official Steam page, players will explore interconnected environments while managing their corruption levels to unlock powerful skills or suffer debilitating effects. The developers emphasize a balance between challenge and accessibility, aiming to attract both hardcore Soulslike fans and newcomers.
Blighted will launch worldwide on PC and consoles later this year. For more details, visit the official Steam store page: Blighted on Steam.
