the highly anticipated hack ‘n’ slash roguelite game, invites players to delve into its dark and gripping world with an exciting sneak peek demo during Steam Next Fest from 10th to 17th of June 2024.

Set in a realm teeming with eldritch creatures and interdimensional anomalies, Lethal Honor plunges players into the heart of a secret organization dedicated to investigating and eradicating paranormal threats.

Intense, fast-paced combat will test your skills!

There are a ton of different artifacts, enchantments, and abilities in the game that enable the player to build a different combat experience every run. It’s up to you if you want to engage in combat head-first and build for weapon damage or take a different approach like making your enemies bleed to death, build entrapments to electrocute them, or command the heavens to rain down holy light on your foes. Fight difficult bosses and show your superiority. 

Lethal Honor features a complex weapon system. Lost Agents can carry two weapons at once and switch between them on the fly. Switching weapons during a combo unleashes a powerful Switch Attack that differs for each of the three available weapons. Furthermore, weapons charge up for a unique Weapon Skill when fighting enemies. Enter Rage with the Katana to strongly enhance your weapon temporarily; teleport behind enemies with the Katar and strike their weak points; become invincible with the War Hammer, standing your ground regardless of what comes the Agent’s way. There are perfect hits, last-second dashes, wall collisions, and many more intricate mechanics that enrich the smooth combat experience in Lethal Honor.

Beware of the Shadows

During their missions, the Agents are often tempted by dark rituals left behind by demonic entities. If the Agent is too greedy, their Shadow Level will rise and the game will become a lot harder during that run. However, if the player can withstand the heightened difficulty, their luck will increase and extra spoils await!
