Diluvian Ultra

Diluvian Ultra: Chapter One is a first-person action game about Atilla, an immortal warrior-prince awakened after millennia in deep space when intruders invade his tomb-ship. You fight to drive them from your home and save your people, while investigating whether they are enemies from your past or new foes. Atilla’s story is set against themes of fanaticism, trauma, betrayal and hope for redemption, amid neo-gothic architecture and immense, cathedral-like spaceships.

Combat and survival

Combat uses a dual-damage system: armour absorbs damage, and some weapons strip it away without killing the target, leaving it exposed to a lethal blow. Enemies also combine attacks in this way. You collect and consume blood to upgrade weapons, and pick up power-ups to gain temporary advantages.

Mobility is central to survival. Dodge enemy fire, chain ranged attacks with close-combat blows and ground slams, and use double-jumps, dashes, cover and sword deflections to avoid projectiles. Staying in one place for too long is dangerous.

Weapons and equipment

The tomb-ship is made of both flesh and stone, and Atilla’s arsenal includes traditional Tech weapons and grotesque, living Organic armaments. His sentient Squire Gun, Bella, is his closest companion. Chapter One includes six weapons with 30 upgrades.

Chapter One

The chapter contains 10 levels and a hub, with 13 enemy types. Further chapters continuing Atilla’s story and expanding the weapons and enemy roster are planned as paid DLC.
