Voin, the RPG that blends Doom and Dark Souls, just got a massive new update

Slaying grotesque enemies, achingly beautiful and powerful melee weapons, and dark fantasy worlds - just some of the core ingredients for any good FromSoftware RPG. But what if Dark Souls went first-person, picked up the pace a bit, and incorporated flashes of Doom's hellish, metal aesthetic? Well, you'd get something that looks a lot like Voin. Made by a single developer, this already ambitious RPG just got even bigger and better with its first major content update that adds a new dungeon and fresh foes to the game.

Thunderborn Update is Available Now

Lightnings,
The Thunderborn Update (Version 0.2.0) is here.

The skies flash with fury, and the world trembles. A storm is rising, and only the Thunderborn can stand against the abominations and spectral horrors summoned by HER will. Will you answer the call?

This is the first of several major updates, bringing long-planned additions to the game, and many of those that were shaped by your feedback. Some arrived in early February (read the patch notes here), but now, I am thrilled to unveil everything that remained behind the veil.

New MASSIVE Dungeon Awaits

Descend into the abyss beneath the Cathedral of Veiled Lament. Explore breathtaking yet deadly vistas and face the guardian of Hadracon’s Scroll—Nomme, The Summoner of Tears.

I have altered the location of this scroll to make progression feel more natural and introduce greater challenges on the path to unlocking new zones. To open the gates of Hadracon’s Citadel, you must now first overcome its keeper.

New Enemies to Slay

The dead rise at HER call. Put them to rest once more.

HER will has stirred ancient titans of fire and ash. Their purpose is destruction.

HER twisted craft has led to monstrous mutations, creatures grown beyond reason.

New HIGH-LEVEL Arena to Test Your Might

Deep in the dungeon lies the Circle of the Damned. Aid the ancient king Sedogor to purge the arena of filth and claim a weapon so powerful it tears through reality itself. Nothing shall stand between you and the cleansing.

And Much More:

New weapons and items
Rich chests with greater rewards
An optional boss with a unique reward
Gameplay improvements and fixes

The path to cleansing has only just begun. More challenges, expanded world activities, and even greater battles lie ahead. A chilling horror is coming.

To everyone who has already answered the call—I cannot thank you enough for your support. Join us in our sacred Discord, leave your mark with a Steam review, and prepare for what’s to come.

Full patch notes for the Thunderborn Update:
Note: ⚡ indicates changes inspired by the community!

Additions 🆕

Completely new, massive dungeon underneath the Cathedral of Veiled Lament (the first location).
Arena quest where only the mightiest will prevail... with a reward fit for a Vindicator.
New optional boss fight.
5 completely new enemy types for the two new factions of monsters: undead and creatures.
⚡ Any chest (including secret ones) can now be Rich, with a lot more ichor and items of at least Elder (blue) quality. The chance of a chest being Rich scales with difficulty aspects.
Powerful new weapons and multiple items across all types (with the majority of them suggested by the community!). This includes 2 unique weapons, that drop from the new optional boss and as a reward for completing the Arena.

Rebalances ⚖️

⚡ Amount of ichor received per each individual item was reduced.

Bug fixes 🐛

Bosses health now scales properly with the Toughness difficulty modifier (it was capped at 10k before). Expect major differences in the amount of health on higher difficulties. You’ve been warned.
Fixed an issue where meteors summoned by the Dragonhead Necklace were not dealing damage.

Dark fantasy RPG Voin is like Doom with swords, and its first big update is here

I've already called Voin a 'boomer slasher,' and with the benefit of hindsight, I think it fits the game quite well. On the one hand, it's got the pace, frantic combat, and action of a shooter like Doom, but on the other, it has the methodical swordplay of the soulslike genre. You've also got to explore, find upgrades, and hone your skills while hacking your enemies to pieces, and all of this comes together into a Steam Early Access experience with loads of promise. Solo developer Nikita Sozidar has just released Voin's first major update, too, and it makes everything better.
