Worms meets Spelunky in Incendium’s quirky procedural haunted house title!
Incendium today unveils its novel take on the squad-based genre, which is set to launch on Steam Early Access next month.
Phantom Halls is a unique type of squad-based game, Phantom Halls sees players take on the roles of multiple characters at once. You can think of it like a real-time Worms with the procedurally generated chaos of Spelunky.
An early version of the game will launch via Steam Early Access on March 13th. Incidentally, that date marks the 30th anniversary of Evil Dead 2 – and Incendium have something special planned to mark the occasion. If we are getting an Ash cameo the game will really have my attention.
“We want Phantom Halls to be a community-driven experience, and for our players to contribute heavily to what the game becomes,” said Llexi Leon, Incendium founder and creative lead on Phantom Halls, who also works as creative director on Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast.
He added: “We’re building an engaging horror-comedy adventure with dozens of outspoken characters, monstrous enemies, makeshift weapons, eerie environments, gear customisation and more – we hope Phantom Halls will inspire a thriving playerbase that can genuinely and meaningfully help us prioritize new content and steer the direction of the game.
Phantom Halls ships via Steam Early Access this March at $6.99, so it’s going to be affordable if nothing else. The initial version of the game will feature ten playable characters, 12 enemy types, and a procedurally generated multi-storey mansion with half a dozen distinct environment types.
