Starward Industries Announces New Project: Dante’s Ring
The developer behind The Invincible, Starward Industries, has revealed its latest venture: an action-adventure anti-combat RPG titled Dante’s Ring.
Combining survival and arcade elements, Dante’s Ring thrusts players into the midst of an unexpected volcanic eruption on a mysterious island. The goal? To rescue as many stranded beings as possible.
Unlike traditional combat-focused games, Dante’s Ring challenges players to prioritize saving lives over engaging in battles. Take a peek at the intriguing teaser trailer below:
“Embark on a treacherous journey to the brink of hell itself in Dante’s Ring, where players will embody a courageous explorer, striving to survive and rescue stranded souls amidst the island’s volcanic chaos,” teased the developer. “Prepare to confront molten lava flows, powerful earthquakes, and scorching fires from the depths of the volcano, equipped with fireproof armor and unique retro weaponry.”
Challenges in Dante’s Ring extend beyond environmental hazards, pushing players to make strategic decisions and moral choices that will shape their narrative. The ultimate question: How far are you willing to go to save others? Are you ready to unveil the secrets hidden within the heart of the volcano?
While a concrete release date is still pending, Steam hints at an early access launch in 2025. Starward Industries plans to keep the game in early access until they craft engaging gameplay and a captivating storyline. Rest assured, the early access version will offer a fully playable experience.
Our experience with Starward Industries’ previous title, The Invincible, highlighted its brilliance as an adaptation of Stanisław Lem’s work. However, limitations in player agency and impact on the narrative were noted. The game garnered a respectable three-star rating from our reviewer, Bertie.
