Take a smattering of Hades and whip in some The Binding of Isaac. You’ll find yourself left with something like Warm Snow as it releases to the world.
Available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC, Warm Snow is a new top-down roguelike RPG. Whisking you off to a dark fantasy land, you’ll discover that the post-apocalyptic world within has been drawn from Chinese mythology. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? You know it does.
New, old Chinese myths
Well, we think it does, especially once we add in those Hades and Binding of Isaac vibes. And it gets better still when you start to consider what else is going on in Warm Snow.
It’s set in the year 27 of the Longwu era, as the world turns to chaos. You see, the warm snow that is in place is refusing to melt. And that, for some reason, has seen the townsfolk turn into the most wicked of monsters.
Playing as Bi An, you find yourself as a warrior emerging from the depths, ready to navigate the oriental dark fantasy lands around you. You’ve got just the one mission too – to head to the five houses that used to protect the world, and clear them of corruption. Only then will the White Lotus be defeated and your world will be saved.
