Defeat hellish monsters in Pyrene - an upcoming fast-paced dungeon-crawler by French indie studio Two Tiny Dice, available September 13 on Steam.
After the commercial and critical success of FORWARD: Escape the Fold, solo-dev-turned-studio lead Christophe Coyard is back with a game that borrows from its predecessor's ideas all while building upon every single one of them. Pyrene officially launches on September 13 2024 on Steam (PC & Mac) and prepares to show off its shiny new title to roguelike dungeon-crawling fanatics.
With multiple playable characters (including a stoat), a variety of distinct biomes and a ton of unlockable items, this first look at Pyrene will give Two Tiny Dice fans and newcomers alike a taste of this brand new experience. Unite with your fellow villagers to confront the sinister Demon Herensuge and his horde of hellish fiends, hell-bent on shattering the tranquility of your homeland. Use your deck-building skills to make it out of the unforgiving dungeons of the Pyrenees alive.
Developed by a team of passionate roguelike, dungeon-crawler players - Pyrene will feature the standard elements all roguelike enthusiasts expect with a robust deck-building system and a unique combat approach that rewards you the more you play.
Key features:
- Mythological Setting: Pyrene is based on Basque mythology, a never-before seen pantheon in video games.
- Strategic Decision-Making: Balanced between ease of play and strategy, Pyrene presents deep deck-building elements that intertwine with its dungeon-crawling gameplay to force you to think before making any move.
- Unique Characters: Play as a diverse cast of characters from your village, each one possessing unique skills, mechanics and magic. Tailor your deck to your hero to make the most of each run!
- Built for Replayability: With a wide range of objects, biomes, relics, talismans & spells, no two runs are the same and you will be able to develop ingenuous strategies to navigate the game's story and endless modes YOUR way.
Following the release of Forward: Escape the Fold in March 2022, Christophe realized the potential of fast-paced card-based roguelikes and decided to work on a new, more ambitious title. Joined by Jeanne and Marion, artist and writer respectively, the trio started the journey to create Pyrene. With more features, a complex storyline and deep gameplay, the game aims to bring a refreshing take on the roguelike deck builder genre.
