Publisher Mastiff and developer Actual Nerds have announced they’re bringing their new action RPG The Tarnishing Of Juxtia to PCs this summer.
Thanks to Elden Ring the “Souls” type of super-hard slasher is in vogue again, and Tarnishing Of Juxtia offers a 2D variant. In the dark world of Juxtia, a twisted supernatural plague is ravaging all life — and we MEAN twisted; anything it infects is distorted into a hideous flesh monster. You are a nameless hero created by a dying god, with one purpose to your existence: beat back the plague and save Juxtia. Along the way, collect items, discover weapons and armor, and make yourself powerful enough to take down whoever’s behind this.
- An Extraordinary Adventure Awaits: Explore 15 unique environments, engage in 14 formidable boss battles, and uncover plenty of secrets and sidequests in this sprawling 20+ hour action RPG.
- Risk Versus Reward Combat: A unique Energy Rush system rewards courageous players with a super-charged boost of stamina and mana regeneration after landing consecutive attacks.
- Vicious Boss Battles: Face evil head-on as you battle corrupted saints, ancient war machines, destructive gods and more in explosive, multiphase boss fights that will push your skills to the limit.
- Earn Powerful New Abilities: Acquire Relics from fallen bosses that can be powered up to unleash devastating Ultimate offensive and defensive abilities, allowing you to turn the tide of battle in your favor while adding a unique flair to your character build.
- Kingdoms Filled with Weapons & Loot: Uncover a wealth of unique weapons, armor sets, magic abilities, and Relics.
- Develop Unique Character Builds: With access to more than 35 weapons and 18 armor sets, create a character that thrives on your playstyle and visual preferences!
Watch for The Tarnishing Of Juxtia when it arrives on Steam in the summer of 2022.

I am always a fan of Metroidvania type of Games. In a world where most games are now in 3d, It is nice to see some Metroidvania type of slashers out there. I will wait for it in Steam.
