Tears Of Metal is a normal night out in Scotland with slightly more cooperative roguelike stabs

Oh, this one looks nice, doesn't it? Tears Of Metal is an exciting medieval Stabathon where you take back your Scottish island from a bunch of bad guys who decided to come and give it a try, which was a bit silly of them, honestly. It's a hack n' slash co-op roguelike with nifty strategy elements and a striking art style, but you can tell the gist of it in the trailer below:

The press release says:

Tears Of Metal is a medieval hack'n'slash roguelike in which you fight your way through battles of hundreds of characters alongside loyal companions who grow in experience. With each playthrough, you'll discover destructive powers and find new ways to combine them and unlock additional playable characters, items, permanent upgrades, and more. The game is fully playable with 4 players in online co-op for maximum on-screen chaos.

We're certainly not short of action roguelikes right now. Nor do those with striking artistic styles think about it. But it immediately caught my attention, just because of the amount of energy and character. Plus, I like anything that lets me fight really big battles with really angry men. A bit of a wait for this one, unfortunately. It's expected next year, 2025, but you can get it on Steam right now.
