You will play as the long-coated Luca, but also Rehm, a being that possesses her for some undisclosed reason. It’ll feature “tense, precise, combat” says Devolver in a press release, with lots of combo-clobbering, boss-battering and joe-juggling. “Find and unlock a wide array of powerful weapons and upgrades to bolster your arsenal and explore previously inaccessible areas.”
That sounds a bit somethingvania, right? The developers do say you’ll be meeting a cast of washed-out post-apocalyptic folks as you go along, “each with their own heart-breaking story”, in case you thought it was all jumpy-jumpy-punch-punch. It’s not clear if this tale will follow Heart Machine’s usual philosophy of wordless storytelling, but the trailer shows no chatter, so probably?
But let us chill. It’s all in the buttonfeel for this types of game and Heart Machine do have a reputation for satisfying slashin' and dashin' (Hyper Light Drifter is one of our25 best action games). It’s also worth remembering that they are working on Hyper Light Breaker, that follow-up to their most well-known work. Which itself lookspretty slick, even if Edwin hadtrouble with its hoverboarding in an early build. In any case, let’s give Possessor(s) a chance to fatten up a little. It’s not due out until 2025 in any case.
