The young development studio ExoGenesis Studios consists of team members who worked on, for example, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. With INAYAH – Life After Gods, the group is now working on their first project of their own.
What immediately catches the eye are the hand-drawn graphics from INAYAH – Life After Gods. According to their own statement, the team creates all of the characters with lovingly detailed work, and there are also various biomes that you can explore in the Metroidvania. The three weapons with which the eponymous main character defends himself will help you.
Regardless of whether it’s Doppelkingen, Morgenstern or mechanically reinforced fists, you have to quickly switch between weapons depending on the situation. Not only do they prove useful in the fight against the standard mobs, you also have to use them against the 20 bosses in a targeted manner and according to the situation. But they also help with platforming, for example you can move to certain points or destroy objects that block passages.
ExoGenesis Studios also promises an extensive skill tree. This should make it possible to create a variety of builds that can be perfectly adapted to individual play styles with special maneuvers and buffs. With Sputnik, the game also provides you with a mechanical companion that can also be upgraded.
You take on the role of the orphaned outsider Inayah. She is trying to find her place in the world; the developers attach great importance to her story. It should raise existential questions and captivate you with many acquaintances and interesting characters.
You can get a first moving image impression of INAYAH – Life After Gods in a first impression of the game. You can find it below these lines.
