Songbringer Comes to PC and Xbox One Today
It was announced by the one man development team Wizard Fu (Nathanael Weiss) and publisher Double Eleven, that Songbringer releases today for Xbox One and PC, and for PlayStation 4 on the 5th of September.
Check out the official launch trailer of Songbringer, featuring some gameplay footage:
“Songbringer is an action RPG, inspired by the original Zelda games, with real time combat, a wide range of weapons and a tonne of hidden secrets. World maps are generated from a 6-letter world seed, which determines the layout of the overworld and dungeons.
Players play as Roq, a space-faring planetary surveyor who wakes up shirtless on a strange planet. With the help of robot companion Jib, it’s Roq’s job to piece together what’s happened and save the universe from the evil, ancient army he’s accidentally awoken…
…by stealing their Nanosword.
Only by exploring the harsh world of Ekzera, mastering the dungeons and defeating its fearsome bosses will Roq unlock the secrets of his power and return the galaxy to peace. Along the way he will uncover powerful artefacts and forge them anew, and use the Nanosword to crush galactic giants.
