Carve a red ruin with Diluvian Ultra: Chapter One out today on PC

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC – September 28, 2023 – Fulqrum Publishing and Cresthelm Studios are pleased to announce that ‘Chapter One’ of vibrant, pixel-art FPS Diluvian Ultra releases today via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store. Chapter one of this visceral, retro-inspired shooter provides a full game's worth of content, and Atilla's story will be further continued in subsequent Chapters, released as DLCs. 

Out Now Trailer Here:

Diluvian Ultra’s dual-damage system promises an attentive and thoughtful challenge for veterans of the genre, with face-melting high-octane gameplay and a rich backstory to discover, set against a background of colourful pixel-art pulp.  Players will be able to blast, slash, and smash their way through 10 diverse and meticulously crafted environments, exterminating 13 brutal enemy types using a variety of organic and technological weapons, and purchasing up to 30 different upgrades for their arsenal. 

Gameplay features: 

Chapter One of Diluvian Ultra includes 10 levels and a hub, 6 unique weapons with 30 different upgrades, and 13 vicious enemy types. 

Strategic combat

Diluvian Ultra’s combat is built around a dual-damage system where you have to combine weapons to be effective. Armour absorbs damage, but some weapons are designed to quickly strip it off your targets - unable to kill them, but exposing them for a single lethal blow. You have to be careful though, as enemies will mix their attacks in the same way. Collect and consume blood to upgrade your weapons and pick up various power-ups at the opportune moment, to become vengeance incarnate - if only for a while!

Keep it moving

Surviving in Diluvian Ultra is all about mobility. Dodge enemy fire while you chain together ranged attacks with close combat blows and devastating ground slams. Double-jump, dash, find cover and even deflect projectiles with your sword, but never stay in one place for too long!

Organic philosophy

Your spaceship home is a living combination of flesh and stone, and so it is with your arsenal of weapons; use both traditional Tech weapons as well as grotesque, living Organic armaments, and don’t forget to take good care of your closest companion, your sentient Squire Gun, Bella.

Epic story

Diluvian Ultra may be an over the top retro FPS filled with frenetic action, but all that carnage is set on a background of an epic, tragic story tackling the themes of fanaticism, trauma, betrayal and hope for redemption, playing out in neo-gothic architectural set pieces and immense, cathedral-like spaceships.

Diluvian Ultra launches today for PC via Steam,  GOG and Epic Games Store. 

Review code is now available to request via GameTomb.gg.
