Okay, so picture this: Neat Corp, the folks who made that VR thing Budget Cuts, are at it again with this new game, Crossings. It’s all about smacking things and casting spells in the Norse afterlife. Sounds wild, right?
So, what’s the deal? You’re supposed to be teaming up with other lost souls in this co-op roguelite? I know, fancy words. But it basically means the world changes every time you play, which is equal parts awesome and confusing. One minute you’re swinging Viking-age weapons around—totally stuff like axes and swords—and the next? Casting spells, no biggie. Trolls, Draugr, and all sorts of creepy things wanna ruin your day, I guess.
Neat Corp paints quite the picture: You wake up somewhere that’s like halfway between dead and… what? Memories or something? Your body’s probably toast, but your spirit’s definitely not taking it lying down. The whole place changes shape, warped by… ancient powers? You meet other souls, but you can’t talk. Just nod, wave, or whatever. It’s all about trust and surviving. It sounds intense: block, dodge, unleash magic… just like a dance, but with monsters. And trolls. And Draugr. Yikes.
You can fight alone or grab someone to help. Every choice makes a difference, or so they say. And, of course, every run leaves its little mark in this ever-shifting Norse trip.
Oh, right, if you’re hyped already, you’ve gotta wishlist it. There’s no release date, but they dropped a hint about a demo at this Steam Next Fest thing from October 14th to the 21st. Single-player chunk of the game—nothing too crazy, but gives you a taste.
Crossings seems like one wild ride through Norse myths. Keep your gear ready. Or maybe just your VR headset, honestly.
