No Rest for the Wicked Overview
No Rest for the Wicked is an action-RPG being developed by Moon Studios, the developers behind the highly-received Metroidvania duology, Ori. The game came out under early access for the PC on April 18, 2024, whereas it will eventually head to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S when it’s ready for its full release. The title encountered several roadblocks in its development, most prominently when its publishers, Private Division, was unexpectedly closed. Since then, Moon Studios have acquired the rights and will be self-publishing the title. After over a year since its first release, its scheduled to receive its first major update in ‘The Breach,’ set for April 30, 2025.
No Rest for the Wicked concerns a kingdom where its ruler, King Harol, has died in the year of 841. While the people mourn, they only have but a few moments, for a horrifying plague known as The Pestilence has returned after a thousand years of disappearance. The kingdom, experiencing a power vacuum, is now being sought to be ruled by the late king’s naive and arrogant son, and a dominant church figure known as Madrigal Seline.
With all the political struggles arising, players must take the role of a Cerim, a holy warrior with mystical powers capable of fighting off the deadly Pestilence. They must go on quests, take down foul monsters, outfit themselves with powerful weapons and armor, and carry out their tasks in bringing peace to the kingdom by ridding it of the plague.

No Rest for the Wicked Gameplay
No Rest for the Wicked is a top-down action RPG, where the genre is sought to be reimagined by Moon Studios. Its combat is primarily souslike in nature, where enemy attacks are weighted and telegraphed in order for players to perfectly time their own attacks, dodges, or parries. Progression is focused more on leveling up stats and with equipment, incentivizing players to invest in certain attributes and search for specific weapons that fit their playstyle. Moreover, the game features platforming sections that test the reflexes and dexterity of players as they venture through dungeons and fight off monsters at the same time.
