Blight: Survival looks delightful if you like zombies, knights, and historically-inspired slash accurate armor and weapons. Recently revealed in a gameplay trailer, Blight is a "4-player co-op action-horror roguelite" where you venture into a no-man's land between warring states where a terrible thing has arisen which turns people and corpses into monsters. Blight: Survival isn't out yet, and there's no release date.
It's developed by and self-published by indie outfit Haenir Studio, which is made up of two people: Ulrik and Mads. I find this to be incredible but that's the age we live in, as tools and experience in development rapidly scale what a smaller team can accomplish.
As evinced by the longbow, dagger, and sword in the trailer, Blight intends to have a selection of both weapons and armor that can be customized to suit one's playstyle. The description also says that Blight will take place on a "huge map filled with secrets and plenty of coin to be found."
I like that it has an element of realism to its combat, with a heavily armored combatant being very dangerous to unarmored ones. I especially like that it gets one thing about that era of plated armor correct: The entire body of an armored man is a weapon, and our protagonist proves that with heavy tackles and armored strikes.
You can find Blight: Survival on its official website and on Steam.
