Souls-like has become a genre thanks to FromSoftware’s Dark Souls series, with the emphasis being on extremely difficult combat that has you dying over and over as you gradually make your way through punishing areas. While there aren’t many that can do it as well as FromSoftware, there have been some interesting twists on their formula that have been solid. PlayStation 4’s Nioh is one example of this, and now the multi-platform release of The Surge is another.
Those who are interested in seeing what The Surge has to bring to the table are in luck, as there’s currently a great deal available for the PC version through CDkeys. The game typically goes for $51.99, but if you get the game through them then you only have to pay $38.99. Seeing as the game is definitely worth checking out, we recommend that all of our readers who intend to play the game on PC capitalize on this deal.
For those unfamiliar with the game, it is an action RPG “set in a world ravaged by war and global warming. The game offers a hardcore experience, with a focus on challenging, visceral melee combat. It features fresh fighting, looting and crafting mechanics, alongside a unique character progression system. Fitted with your exo-suit and cybernetic implants, harness super-human strength to survive the CREO complex, a mega-corporation that set out to save the world. Enhance your exo-suit with near-endless combinations of armor and weapons, each with their own move sets as you slice your way through steel and flesh to loot, craft, and improve your rig.”
The Surge brings an interesting twist to the Souls formula, as it has a sci-fi setting and features a unique mechanic that allow you to sever body parts of enemies in order to acquire more powerful equipment. The game is also available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
