‘Alkahest’ Brings Fans A Medieval Action RPG
by Sage Ashford
New studio Push On have revealed their first major project, Alkahest, a medieval, first-person fantasy action game. Inspired by games like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Dishonored, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the focus of Alkahest is on dynamic, close-quarters combat where anything in the environment can be a weapon. The trailer shows off the protagonist tossing barrels, kicking enemies off cliffs, and shoving them into jagged rocks.
The Steam page is already up, and goes into detail on Alkahest’s “grounded fantasy adventure”:
“When the sun rises over the kingdom of Kadanor, it casts long shadows. Explore a world mired in feodal turmoil, where the balance of power between the three major houses is fragile.
As the youngest son of a petty lord, you’re no hero. And to become someone, you’ll have to prove your worth through sweat and blood. Investigating unusual goblin raids on the county border may be the chance you’ve been waiting for.
Explore castles, forests, villages and other realistic settings, while meeting its residents and making interesting decisions on your journey.”
In place of magic, the game has a heavy focus on relying on relic weapons and creating alchemical potions, which will certainly help the title stand out from other RPGs on the market. It’s clearly early in development, though hopefully it’ll still stick close to what’s happening in this reveal on release.
Alkahest currently has no release date, but is scheduled to launch on consoles and PC.
