BLACKHEART - EARLY ACCESS

BLACKHEART EARLY ACCESS IS HERE! (See more details below)

Based on the world of the Azriel Blackheart books, Blackheart combines action RPG and top-down shooter elements to tell a tragic tale centred around the royal Blackheart family and the internal conflicts that are consuming them from the inside out.

TRAVERSE A DARK AND DYING WORLD TO UNITE A FRACTURED FAMILY

Born into an immensely influential but dysfunctional royal family, venture out into a world that is collapsing at the seams.

Forge a bond with a mysterious creature from beyond the Ethereal veil and use its power to correct the apocalyptic course that fate has set.




Explore a beautiful hand-crafted world and discover enchanted relics to trade with Blackheart's enigmatic characters.




Flashy, fast-paced combat. Forge a bond with the Ethereal Spirit known as Ocassus, and grow your power through new magical abilities & passives.





Meet a cast of deep, flawed characters each with their own desires, fears and aspirations. Your family are no less dangerous than the dogmatic fanatics and ethereal monsters who ravage and reform the landscape.
