The Dark Heart of Balor is the newest side-scrolling hack and slash from Game Artists that will be releasing later this year. It will launch on early access on PC, followed with a release on Xbox, Switch and PlayStation.

The Dark Heart of Balor is a dark fantasy hack and slash side scroller, where you play the demon-possessed Hunter. Archdemon Balor has opened the Gate of Hell into the human realm and hordes of demons and monsters have flooded into man’s world-destroying everything in their path. You must protect those who are still alive and ultimately destroy Balor to close the Gate. Your quest will take you across the continent of Eridun into dark crypts, demon-infested wilds, and demonic rifts in the fabric of the world. It will be full of deadly traps, ambushes, and puzzles. The diabolic foes in your way will test your combat skills and newly found arcane powers.

You will gain skill points that can be used to upgrade your character’s abilities, such as multiple offensive and defensive skills and magic in order to progress. You have at your disposal an assortment of arms, melee and magical, that you can use in several powerful combinations.
