Roguelite action RPG Conan: The Black Pyramid announced for PC
Grindstone and developer Games Farm have officially announced Conan: The Black Pyramid, a roguelite action RPG that blends classic sword and sorcery with cosmic horror. The title is scheduled to launch for PC via Steam in 2027, offering players a journey through a shifting labyrinth that defies the logic of space and time.
The game is set within the shared universe of Robert E. Howard, allowing players to take control of iconic heroes such as Conan, Solomon Kane, and Dark Agnes. The primary setting is the Black Pyramid—a mysterious and dangerous location where players will descend into eldritch chambers to uncover dark secrets from the characters' pasts. As an action roguelite, every run is designed to present new routes, combat possibilities, and story events that bring players closer to discovering who summoned them to this place.
Players will face a variety of threats, including nightmarish monsters, savage beasts, and bloodthirsty fanatics, alongside challenging bosses that guard the different layers of the pyramid. The combat system revolves around five distinct characters, providing a mix of melee blows, precise swordplay, ranged gunfire, and magical attacks. To master combat, players can utilize dodges, timed parries for brutal executions, or status effects to wear down opponents, all while switching weapons and relics to adapt to the situation.
Character Progression and Customization
Deep customization is a core pillar of the experience. Players can discover 'Warrior Memories' for each character, which offer unique combinations of weapons and abilities to drastically change playstyles. Progression is further enhanced by ancient artifacts that grant devastating effects or new mechanics, and upgradable 'Combat Masteries.' Additionally, players can use 'Wakestones' to unlock permanent upgrades and level up their heroes. A unique dice mechanic also allows players to increase their chances of finding better loot, with the choice to use dice immediately or save them for higher-stakes moments.
Cooperative Play
For those who prefer to face the darkness together, Conan: The Black Pyramid supports two-player online cooperative play. This mode allows friends to share the journey and experiment with different character combinations while maintaining their own individual rewards and progression.
