Today developer Polygonomicon released a new trailer of its upcoming 3D combat action game Varvarion.
The video showcases a brand new look at the game that appeared at DigiGameExpo2021, including a new mission.
An English translation has been added to the dialogue originally in Japanese for our perusal, and it’s worth mentioning that a lot of dialogue was skipped, while voice effects are still placeholders.
It’s quite impressive considering that Polygonomicon is actually a solo developer
You can enjoy it below.
Varvarion does not have a release window or firm announced platforms, but the developer expects it to come “most likely” on PC via Steam.
It supports local split-screen, but the developer is also planning to implement a single-player campaign. Online multiplayer will “hopefully” come as well, but it’s not seen as a priority for now.
Here’s how the developer officially describes the game.
“VARVARION is a 3D sword fighting action game currently in development, which puts you at the center of playable, anime-styled sword fights. Flipping and dodging to evade ferocious attacks, parrying at the last possible split second to reposte with a deadly blow, and doing it all with the style and flare of an anime battle; this is what VARVARION is setting out to achieve.
Another goal is to support a wide assortment of combat situations, ranging from 1 on 1 duels to group melees.
VARVARION is being developed to balance tactical, Fighting game-like skill with the wide variety of combat scenarios found in Action games.”
