Everything We Know About SacriFire
SacriFire Story Plot
Ezekiel Ridan is a young soldier in training set to join the elite sect of the Church of Sheol. He wishes to be a protector of the underground city of Antioch which frequently gets attacked by demons from the surface. One day, he is suddenly assigned as a Bishop of the church, and on his first day, is tasked with a Herculean mission– to retrieve an artifact from Heretics.
Wishing to impress and do well, he takes on the quest along with his crew of friends on an adventure that will reveal to them that the surface isn’t the only place with demons and mysterious secrets.
SacriFire Gameplay
SacriFire is a unique RPG wherein its combat mixes turn-based and real-time battles, where time only flows as the character you control makes any move. This idea is similar to the surprise hit FPS SUPERHOT, where enemies, bullets, and projectiles only moved as the character performed actions. Applying the same idea to an RPG provides a fresh dynamic take in the genre’s tradition of combat.
You will be able to form parties with allies that will have different roles to play with the Virtue system, where you’ll be able to freely switch between Virtues in the heat of battle that provide different skill sets, abilities, and bonuses, acting like the game’s version of RPG classes with their own skill trees.
Aside from all that, characters will be able to wield a variety of weapons, from the sword, spear, chakrams, crossbow, fists, and a giant hammer!
