Indie developer Gardenfiend Video games simply launched a beautiful plant horror recreation that its group describes as “Hole Knight meets Titan Souls.” Perennial Order, which dropped on September 6 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Sequence X/S, is a 2D boss rush recreation that pulls inspiration from Darkish Souls, Princess Mononoke, and the artwork model of Magic: The Gathering. Its protagonist is an undead knight with a pitcher plant for a head (or possibly it’s a helmet?) and a stinger grafted onto one arm, and the hostile world it’s set in is crawling with plant-infested monsters. For sure, I downloaded it instantly.
You possibly can play Perennial Order solo or with a buddy — it gives each native and on-line co-op, with cross-platform assist. There are 15 bosses to face, and with one-hit-death fight, your each transfer is vital. Fortunately, you respawn near the place you died, since you’ll most likely be doing plenty of that with some enemies.
I’ve spent somewhat little bit of time with Perennial Order this weekend, and it’s actually charming. The atmosphere and music are lovely, creating an environment that’s splendidly bleak as you discover between boss fights and piece collectively the lore by way of interactions with talkative NPCs. I really like plant horror, and Perennial Order doesn’t disappoint.
