We first reported on Colossus: Eternal Blight, a new ARPG from developer Rustic Panda Games and publisher LevelUpGaming, a couple of months ago, when it was seeking funding via a Kickstarter campaign. Now, following hitting its target, Colossus: Eternal Blight has launched on Steam in early access, priced at $15.99, with a 20% early bird discount. Inspired by classic JRPGs like Chrono Trigger and the action-RPG Hyper Light Drifter, Colossus: Eternal Blight follows Lucian, a brother determined to save someone he loves as the world descends into a nightmare and the blight spreads across the land of Eireos.
Colossus: Eternal Blight features a handcrafted pixel-art world, powered by a dynamic combat system built around parries, dodges, and fluid combos. Players will shape the story through meaningful choices, deciding whether to aid or abandon struggling citizens as the Blight spreads across the realm. This certainly looks like a great game in the making, and we look forward to watching the development progress.
Key features in Colossus: Eternal Blight:
A story about brotherhood, sacrifice, and letting go

Three planned classes to choose from, each offering different builds and skill trees
