Fancy getting involved in a new turn-based combo-fuelled RPG? One that is firmly focused on the most flashy of attacks? You’ll want to keep an eye on Designated Demigod.
Designated Demigod has today been confirmed for a 2025 release on PC and console. What consoles? Shall we have a wishlist of Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch? Seems about right, no!?
This is a combo-based RPG that has been put together by AN Productions, publishing rights handled by those at Armor Games Studios.
Join Signy
It tells the tale of Signy; orphaned by a catastrophic explosion at the Mountain Research Center 15 years earlier. It’s here where Signy starts to become suspicious, as tremors re-emerge near her village. Convinced another disaster looms, Signy and her trusted pup Mino set out toward the research center where, unbeknownst to them, scientist Dr. Stelzer has awakened the resentful Mountain God, Auger.
What does that mean? Well, in Designated Demigod you’ll gewt to dance around in delightful combo-heavy combat, toggling between Signy and Mino as you fling foes into the air with Mino’s Nose Launch, unleash Signy’s blazing Firestorm, and deliver a devastating follow-up finisher.
It’ll also let you execute intricately timed attacks, layering movesets to land the perfect blow and eliminate Dr. Stelzer’s underlings. And further to that comes the opportunity to craft spectacular combos alongside your canine companion, with all of the fighting game flashiness in distinctly original turn-based RPG fashion.
A vast overworld
In Designated Demigod a vast overworld ripe with diverse biomes will be available for traversal. As will navigating underground tunnels, scaling beachside cliffs, infiltrating the sinister Research Center, and uncovering the mysteries of the Mirror Temple. From there, expect to encounter peculiar and memorable NPCs along the way, including Baba, Signy’s caring grandmother, ex-gods, a cursed former warrior, and many more.
Are you ready to take on godlike responsibilities as the world rests its hopes unduly upon Signy’s shoulders? Do so and you’ll find the chance to experience the tale of an underdog heroine in an adventure full of perseverance, heart, and determination, all accompanied by gorgeous hand-drawn character art and striking 3D environments.
“Designated Demigod is a heartfelt adventure tackling themes of hardship while highlighting the unspoken burdens of becoming the hero,” said Shawn Tanner, Owner and Lead Developer at AN Productions. “I’ve always dreamed of creating a turn-based RPG incorporating fighting game mechanics without the technical barrier associated with the genre, so I hope fans and newcomers of both genres find something to love here.”
Coming in 2025
