Cherub in Agony UNRATED


Today, we published a free update to the Agony UNRATED available on Steam. After downloading the new content, players will be able to come across a new demon species - Cherub - in many places during the game. Although in SUCCUBUS he will act as the opponent, players can now take a closer look at this demon, finding him in the story mode of Agony UNRATED! At the same time, we would like to point out that we do not rule out enriching the content of our already released games with further free updates.



Cherub Characteristic


Cherub is a demon who, like the iconic Onoskelis, can wield fire. Using pyrokinesis, he tries to keep the right distance from the player to minimize the risk of direct contact, which usually ends fast and brutal.
Cherub is not a character who prefers an honorable duel, which is why he usually appears in numerous groups, trying to encircle his victim.

Lore


Cherub is a type of demon that was born of sin, while various species of infernal creatures began to interbreed with each other. The deformed body of this creature often moves in contradictory logic, giving the impression that each of the two demons joined together lives according to their own rules. His survival often depends on more powerful demons who live in correlation with him, benefiting from each other. When the characteristic scream of Onoskelis resounds in hell, it is the Cherub who is the first to arrive, helping in the fight and hoping for the possibility of eating warm corpses.


 
Gameplay


This type of demon usually attacks his victims when outnumbering them. He tries to circle the character and set it on fire with long-range fireballs. He often responds to the call of more powerful beings, arriving at the indicated place and supporting a larger demon in the fight. Only by killing the demon that summons Cherubs, you can stop the next ones from incoming.
Solo Cherub is an easy-to-kill character, so he tries to engage in combat only when the player is in a duel with stronger opponents.
 
Tactics

 
- Start the elimination with a demon that summons Cherubs
- Always be on the move and use dodges to bypass ranged attacks quickly
- Use environmental traps to hurt many Cherubs at once
- Deflect attacks by pairing them at the right time
- Use magic and long-range attacks
- Use alternative weapon attacks and nail cherubs to walls and ceilings

Have fun, Madmind Studio Team

Succubus Mocap session

Hell(o) Martyrs,

While we are preparing to show the first gameplay from SUCCUBUS, we would love to share with you some interesting facts from the in-house mocap session.



We decided to invest in our own mocap recording equipment to be able to work on the quality of animation constantly and independently. That was a decision made after your feedback to our previous game. Now check out this couple photos from intense SUCCUBUS mocap session with Vydija and her poor victim!



The session contained many demanding scenes and required real commitment, so we had to use special protection to survive it! But finally, we were able to record everything we planned.



We are looking forward to showing you the effects of our work at SUCCUBUS! Liberated Vydija definitely doesn't like to play in subtlety...



There is one extra pic from the session that you should definitely check out here.

Also, remember to follow Vydija profile on Twitter:

Take care, Madmind Studio

SUCCUBUS gets a new trailer and social media campaign!

Hell(o) Martyrs,

Madmind Studio is thrilled to present you a new trailer for SUCCUBUS – a spin-off to the iconic and widely discussed Agony. This time, as the title of the game suggests, Succubus named Vydija – a lusty demon based on religious beliefs – becomes the main protagonist.

https://youtu.be/H_Ld3Yq0t50

Along with the new trailer, we are launching a social media campaign in which players will be able to make direct contact with the main character of the game. Thanks to the phone that went straight into her cave, Vydija has a connection with our human world and is running her own account on Twitter, sharing additional bits of information from the game's world as well as her thoughts on various topics.

From now on, you can ask questions to the heroine as well as follow her profile full of photos and videos.

SUCCUBUS backstory


The main character of the game is Succubus Vydija. Wild and evoking the desire in her victims' demon, whose story started in the original – Agony and Agony UNRATED, where she received her own single-player campaign.

With the disappearance of the rightful rulers of hell, the remaining demons have chosen their new ruler – the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. Raising their new empire from the corpses of sinners helped the new king, Nimrod, and his queen Vydija, to control the chaos left by the former overlord.

However, the new, honorable title of the queen of hell proved not to be the best match with the savage nature of Succubus. She gave up the luxury of walking on carpets sewn from the skins of martyrs, choosing to live her life in the wild instead, finding her simple pleasures in hunting.

When satisfying her primal instincts, the new queen crosses her roads with the powerful Baphomet who, along with his army, is pursuing the soul of King Nimrod. Being humiliated and betrayed by her own species, the heroine regains her strengths with only one clear target – REVENGE!

Take care, Madmind Studio Team
