DIABLO CREATOR’S NEW GAME, IT LURKS BELOW, OFFICIALLY RELEASES
Graybeard Games today announced that It Lurks Below, a passion project developed entirely by Diablocreator David Brevik, is now available on Steam for PC for $19.99 USD. Combining many staples of his earlier work, It Lurks Below is an action-oriented survival-RPG with eight character classes, deep randomization, and a retro side-view player perspective ”“ all set in a world ravaged by a demon invasion
“It Lurks Below has been in development for several years now, and I“m delighted to put this eagerly-awaited product into hands of gamers. I wake up every day excited to be working on this game and now I get to share it with the world,”“ said Brevik, whose last major launch was Marvel Heroes in 2013 when he led Gazillion Entertainment.
Titles such as Brevik“s own Diablo inspired the role-playing mechanics whileTerraria, Minecraft, and Starbound inspired the view and survival elements of this action-packed RPG. These aspects come together as a wholly new game experience.
