Mortal Rite Available Now on Early Access

Greetings All!

Round Toast Studios is thrilled to announce that Mortal Rite, our highly anticipated co-op multiplayer soulslike, is now available in Early Access!

Mortal Rite has been a passion project for our team, inspired by our desire to make a game that we ourselves would want to play for hours and hours. We appreciate the feedback and support we’ve already gotten from the community in our development process, and we can’t wait to march into Early Access with you all!

Mortal Rite is a very close project to our heart, and for that, we want to send our gratitude towards our Kickstarter backers, our dedicated Discord community, and everyone who has supported us or our silly social media videos along the way.

This release is just the beginning, with tons of new features, characters, levels, enemies, items, and improvements yet to come as we continue to optimize the game with your feedback.

Now, let's jump into some of the coolest features that we are excited about in Mortal Rite.

Our goal from the start of development has always been to make a game where you can progress solo or in co-op seamlessly, and because we are a 5-man studio, we designed Mortal Rite to allow for up to 5-player co-op.

It has been a challenge to make levels that work for both one player and five, and you will notice some changes to the level if you load up with a bigger squad, but we have worked very hard to make Mortal Rite a souls-like that is fun in co-op, and we can’t wait for your feedback during Early Access to make it even better!

Our goal with Mortal Rite is to combine that difficult yet strategic combat of a souls-like game with the hero classes of some Rogue-Lites, where you can easily switch characters for a completely different combat experience! Within each character are also two different fighting stances that can be mixed and matched with different abilities to suit your playstyle!

Our goal has been to make fast & responsive melee combat with an emphasis on breaking enemy posture to interrupt attacks. We also have a bit of a unique approach on chaining together different attacks seamlessly, as characters have different light, heavy, and charge attacks.

We also give the players more options in combat, allowing them to adapt to different enemies by utilizing unique sprinting, dodging, and air attacks. Each character also has their own specialty of parrying, deflecting, or blocking.

We’ve made a wide variety of aggressive enemies, each with different methods of taking the player down.

Also, factions influence fights. With factions being hostile to each other, players can force enemies to fight each other instead. We believe that this creates a better gameplay experience and more options for different builds within each character! Many more enemies will be coming during Early Access through free updates as well!
