Mandragora offers brutal combat and dark fantasy world

A new dark fantasy game called Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is set to be released soon. The game is developed by Primal Game and Knights Peak. It promises intense combat, warning players that they might "break a controller or two" while playing. Mandragora takes players into a brutal world filled with creepy creatures. The gameplay is described as a 2.5D hack-and-slash RPG, similar to popular indie games like Blasphemous and Salt and Sanctuary. Players will control an "Inquisitor" character who will battle against various foes, including giant rats and animated corpses. The game looks smooth and fluid, allowing for exciting movement. The character uses a mix of magic and physical attacks, with diverse abilities from a large skill tree. A unique feature involves using a grappling hook, which adds an extra layer to the gameplay. Brian Mitsoda, known for his work on the classic game Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines, is the writer behind Mandragora. This should appeal to fans of dark fantasy games. Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is set to launch on April 17, 2025. It will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Players can track updates on the game through its official page.
