Roguelite action RPG Clockfall will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on May 28, publisher Radical Theory and developer Rever Games announced. A full release will follow for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC in 2027.
Here is an overview of the game, via Radical Theory:
A Crucial Dilemma: From Power-Ups to Buying Time
In Clockfall, players are plunged into the heart of an infinite nightmare. To break this relentless time loop, they must crawl through lethal dungeons, slay fearsome enemies, and bring down colossal bosses.
However, brute force alone will never be enough. In this world, time is the most precious resource, and the clock is constantly ticking. Players must optimize every single move to reach the depths of the dungeon before their time runs out, forcing them into heart-wrenching choices to survive:
Invest in their immediate build by upgrading combat stats, unlocking new weapons, or mastering powerful spells. Sacrifice their current progress to literally “buy” themselves more time.
A Dual-Rhythm Gameplay: From Dungeon Crawling to Village Defense
Clockfall‘s core identity lies in its unique dual rhythm. The adrenaline of the dungeon crawl directly feeds into the intensity of Village Defense mechanics. Everything scavenged during runs – resources, upgrades, etc. – must be used to fortify your hero and your settlement against enemy waves that grow larger and more ruthless over time.
By successfully holding the line during invasion phases, players earn greater permanent upgrades to grow stronger with each run, master the loop, and ultimately escape this nightmare.
