Morbid Metal News

[p]Last week at Gamescom 2025, Morbid Metal had its biggest showing yet! With press from all over the world checking out the game, the response was incredible.[/p][p]We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing feedback. Here are just a few highlights:[/p][p]💬 GameStar: “Morbid Metal is at the top of my wish list.”[/p][p]💬 Arkaden (interview with Felix Schade): “In eight years he has built one of the most promising action games from a small bedroom to a project backed by Ubisoft.”[/p][p]💬 Eurogamer Germany: “In the old demo, I often felt like I was losing track of the enemies' attacks. In the new demo, however, I was always able to dodge and counterattack very well, which isn't usually my favorite skill in games, but here it became my favorite tactic.”[/p][p]💬 Tweakers: “This is one of the more beautiful Unity games I’ve ever seen.”[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]What’s Next[/h3][p]We’re heading full speed toward Early Access on Steam this fall and your feedback is shaping every step.[/p][p]Thank you for all the love and support at Gamescom. We can’t wait to show you more, and most importantly, to see the incredible combos you’ll pull off once you get your hands on the game.

[p]Hi everyone, [/p][p]We wanted to let you know that the Early Access launch of Morbid Metal is being delayed to fall 2025. [/p][p]The response to the demo has been incredible. Thank you to everyone who played, shared feedback, and supported the game. It’s been really encouraging, and your input has given us a lot to think about. If you haven’t got the chance to try it, it’s still available and not going anywhere for now! [/p][p]To make sure we do justice to that feedback and deliver the best experience possible, we’ve decided to take a bit more time before launching into Early Access. This will help us refine key systems, improve performance, and ensure the game meets your expectations. [/p][p]We’ll keep you updated as development progresses. Thanks again for your patience and support - we’re excited to share more with you soon! [/p][p]The Morbid Metal Team[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]💥 Morbid Metal is live now as a free demo.[/p][p]💬 Join the conversation on Discord and help shape the future of Morbid Metal.[/p][p]👉 Follow us on X/Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok to stay updated.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]We just hit 300,000 wishlists on Steam.[/p][p]From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Every wishlist, comment, share, and bit of hype you’ve thrown our way keeps this project alive. Morbid Metal started as a small solo prototype, and seeing this many of you ready to dive in is honestly surreal.[/p][p]We’re working hard to make sure Early Access isn’t just more of the demo—it’s going to be a huge step up. More polish, more enemies, more environments, and of course, more shapeshifting chaos. We want it to feel like a real evolution of what you’ve played so far.[/p][p]Stay tuned, stay lethal, and keep slashing that wishlist button if you haven’t yet.[/p][p]Early Access is coming—and it’s going to be worth the wait.[/p][hr][/hr][p]💥 Morbid Metal is live now as a free demo.[/p][p]💬 Join the conversation on Discord and help shape the future of Morbid Metal.[/p][p]👉 Follow us on X/Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok to stay updated.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey guys,[/p][p]Steam Next Fest has officially wrapped, and we’re blown away by the response to the Morbid Metal demo. Your time, feedback, and support meant the world to our small team. Here’s a quick look at what went down:[/p][h3]📊 Stats (because numbers are cool)[/h3]

• [p]66,000+ players stepped into the arena[/p]
• [p]26,200+ hours of stylish combat logged[/p]
• [p]32,000+ iterations of the roguelike loop conquered[/p]
• [p]176,000+ shapeshifts executed with deadly precision[/p]

[p]From first-timers to character-action roguelike veterans, it’s been incredible seeing the variety of playstyles emerge and how quickly many of you pushed the combat to its stylish limits.[/p][h3]🧠 Your Feedback[/h3][p]We’ve been watching streams, reading comments, and absorbing every bug report. Here’s a quick breakdown:[/p][p]✅ The Good[/p]

• [p]Striking visuals and a bold art direction that stands out[/p]
• [p]Distinct playable characters, each with their own skills, combos, and combat identity[/p]
• [p]Fluid, responsive combat that feels great to control[/p]
• [p]Strong potential — players see the foundations of something truly special[/p]

[p]⚠️ The Not So Good[/p]

• [p]Performance issues and room for optimization across systems[/p]
• [p]Limited accessibility options, including UI scaling and text readability[/p]
• [p]Demo length felt too short to fully appreciate the depth of the game[/p]

[p]All feedback is immensely valuable. We’re using it to prioritize fixes, polish mechanics, and sharpen the experience.[/p][hr][/hr][p]As a small, independent team, seeing Morbid Metal get this kind of spotlight is surreal. Every wishlist, stream, and Discord message is fuel for us.[/p][p]To everyone who played, posted, or even just hit “Download”—thank you. You’ve given us momentum we won’t waste.[/p][p]Now, we’re going straight back to work to deliver you an Early Access launch that won’t just be more of what you played—it’ll be bigger, better, and tougher.[/p][hr][/hr][p]💥 Morbid Metal is live now as a free demo.[/p][p]💬 Join the conversation on Discord and help shape the future of Morbid Metal.[/p][p]👉 Follow us on X/Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok to stay updated.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

[p]The Sublime Garden is the first section of the Simulation you travel to once the iteration is started.[/p][p]Beautiful vistas dotted with broken ruins—this place once held a different purpose.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This section is home to a variety of foes—from the leaping Servants, the shielded Bruisers, the airborne HA-3, to the crashing Noko.[/p][p]But it’s not all pain! Somewhere in the Sublime Garden, you’ll find a shrine that unlocks Ekku, the relentless brawler and the second playable character in your arsenal.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This is just the beginning. And if this place is paradise lost… what comes next won’t be so “pretty”.[/p][hr][/hr][p]💥 Morbid Metal is live now as a free demo for Steam Next Fest.[/p][p]💬 Join the conversation on Discord and help shape the future of Morbid Metal.[/p][p]👉 Follow us on X/Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok to stay updated.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]
