I briefly got very, very into Scourgebringer, and have been waiting for it to bulk up with more levels and baddies since that initial release. While it’s been described as being a bit Celeste, it really rewards you for touching the floor and walls as little as possible - embodying raw fury as a white-haired death orb leaping from hapless bug to killer robot while metal riffs shred in the background. I’ve been waiting for something to hit thatNuclear Thronenerve for some time, and damn, did Flying Oak find it.

Where it entered early access with a mere three biomes, Scourgebringer leaves with a complete six - including a not-so-secret “secret” level called The Beyond. They’ll all come with their own monsters, bosses and items to play around with, sure, but more than anything they’ll provide more backdrops to the absolutely sublime air-dashes, sword-slashes and shotgun blasts of Scourgebringer’s core loop.

Scourgebringer is currently available onSteamfor £11.39/€14.99/$14.99, and will arrive on Xbox Game Pass for PC at launch. Flying Oak previously reckoned it’d double in price with a 1.0 release - it hasn’t gone up yet, but keep an eye out for that.

Correction: This post previously reported thatScourgeBringerwould hit in September, not October. My bad.
