Thanks to the efforts of both die-hard EvilQuest fans and newcomers alike, EvilQuest 2 has passed the Greenlight process and will be heading to Steam as soon as the game is completed! The epic quest of universal domination continues! We’ve been pretty tight-lipped about the development of the game so far, but now we’re here to bring you a bit of news and some up-to-date info about Evilquest 2.

EvilQuest 2 is the sequel to the hit retro Action RPG that offers players the chance to play as the ultimate villain rather than the tired and repetitive role of “world saving” hero. The game is built with an aesthetic reminiscent of classic 16-bit SNES era RPGs, but rests on a solid bed of modern gameplay mechanics and sensibilities. Expanding on its 2012 predecessor with an engrossing story mode and an innovative endless world conquering game mode, EvilQuest 2 promises to stretch the Action RPG genre past its traditional limits.

Story:

After the destruction of God and the annihilation of his home world, The Grand Demon Galvis has carved out his own kingdom within The Astral Plane – a realm of countless realities. However, as Galvis soon learned, “God” was a relative term, and the being he had slain was only one of several powerful entities that ruled over the realms of men. Galvis quickly realized that these beings were the only thing standing between him and total dominion over The Astral Plane and resolved himself to find and destroy each and every one of them. But that was eons ago and Galvis’s demonic spies have failed to find even a single one of these holy creatures. At this moment, the demon is out of patience and his hatred for all of creation is greater than ever before…

• Infinite Conquest:

In an exciting new game mode that takes roguelike gameplay to the next level, you will visit infinite worlds with unique world maps, dungeons and towns to explore and conquer. An online leaderboard will track your progress and show you where you stack up in the pantheon of world conquerors.

• Supported Platforms:

PC, Linux & Mac versions are planned.

• Local Co-Op:

Got a friend and a second controller nearby? Have someone tag in and help finish off a tough boss or clear a difficult dungeon.

Infinite Conquest:

In Infinite Conquest, we are blending roguelike gameplay with the Action RPG genre. This new game mode allows you to experience a different procedurally generated world every time you play.

The Astral Plane is a realm of infinite realities. And, as the ultimate villain, Galvis seeks to conquer them all. Each world that you visit will have its own randomly generated set of dungeons, towns, caves and forests for you to explore and fight your way through. Gain tons of loot and craft insane weapons as you rise to the top of the online leader board and become the ultimate conqueror. When you take on Infinite Conquest, you can choose to keep your progress between worlds, or take on “hardcore” mode and face permanent death for the ultimate challenge.

We’re still not ready to announce a firm release date after some of our previous estimates proved unreasonable for the scope of the game we’re making. But rest assured the game is coming and we’re making progress all the time. All of us at Chaosoft Games would like to thank our fans for their support, patience, and continued interest in EvilQuest.
