Intro In a little under a week’s time, the follow-up to Devespresso’s indie cult classic, The Coma: Recrut, otherwise known as Vambrace: Cold Soul is to be released worldwide on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. With a rich narrative and deep strategy, Vambrace has gained a very positive steam rating for the earlier PC release.
In
Vambrace: Cold Soul you take on the role of Evelia Lyric, as you recruit and
equip your party, set off on expeditions to the surface, filled with powerful
enemies and deadly traps to fulfil your objectives. Objectives that will test
your fine leadership qualities, and the strength and strategy of your party.
The focus
on storyline represents a distinct change from Devespresso’s earlier games, taking
influence from the minds of Minho Kim and T.L. Riven to weave a gothic
horror story, while the mechanics such as multi-class party building and
roguelike expeditions provide a solid gameplay experience behind the story.
Since its
release to the PC a little while ago, Devespresso listened to all the feedback
from the PC release, and implemented a massive number of tweaks and changes.
All of which will be incorporated into the console versions. Changes such as”¦
Rebalanced enemy encounters, chapter flow, and
boss encounters.
Additional character skill upgrades with items.
Additional character skills options in combat.
More monster types to deepen the game’s combat
strategy.
Reworked UI that displays hireling stats and
skills.
New items and relics.
3 grades of Bullion Chips which can be sold for
gold.
A fast-forward option during combat and trap
encounters.
The addition of Shelters between Neighborhoods
for reliable spots to heal your team.
The ability to equip and unequip items on the
field.
Adjustable difficulty levels.
A basic New Game + option.
Several bug fixes and text updates.
Vambrace: Cold Souls is already available for Steam PC, and will soon be released worldwide on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on August 29th for around £19.99 / $24.99.
