Meet the Gods

Dukmar

Dukmar controls Wanderer’s Rest, an ancient region that was once Kian’s cradle of civilization and is now the center of learning. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/3c8859fda9098088a76d78319936242a5976f2d7.png A self-proclaimed God of Knowledge, Dukmar's understanding of the world is skewed by larger-than-life stories passed on to him by the souls of the Great Below. Unfortunately, these stories often feature conquerors and tyrants, inspiring Dukmar to seek similar dominance.

Rammuha

Rammuha rules over Three Peaks, leveraging the conservative beliefs of its people to maintain control without revealing herself directly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/f67596b4ca59cc35f94091bf92d035f314ebf395.png As a Goddess of Order, her perception of the world is influenced by flawed mortal ideas of rules and justice. Always in the shadow of more powerful Gods in the Great Below, Rammuha has become a cunning and resourceful adversary.

Inaya

Inaya, the Goddess of Life, works tirelessly to maintain the natural order of the world. Unlike the other Gods, she is dedicated to her duties and has no interest in invading the Above. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/3061bb26258988103122f4e7d49e8d783bb45aa6.png

Uru

Uru controls Dawn itself, never letting the Door to the Great Below out of his sight. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/2b032063c56fe0bd2db1313bc9c3e7352046c71c.png Known as Uru the Ravager, he is the most powerful of the Gods, tasked with controlling the Door between life and death. All the other Gods fear Uru’s power. The only force capable of restraining him is the Door itself, which he cannot venture far from. Traverse the devastated lands of Kian, harness Enki's magic, and soar through the skies using portals while facing the relentless Army of the Dead. Discover new equipment, fortify your weapons, and upgrade your gear in preparation for the ultimate showdown against the Gods. Pre-orders are open, and you can still download and play our Demo if you have yet to try it out for yourself. Thank you so much for your support so far - we are so excited for next week. If you haven't done so yet, you can join the coalition and snag yourself some exclusive subscriber rewards - including some awesome Concept Art and a phone wallpaper. Show no mercy, Sapper! See you on July 18! ~ The Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Team ⚔️

Summer 2024 is approaching fast… Today at IGN FanFest, we revealed a compilation of Gameplay Clips that showcase some previously unseen elements from the game. Here’s a fresh look at Nor, her mysterious fox-like companion Enki, and the world of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.

Hosts

The gameplay preview starts with a warm offer of coffee from a Host. Hosts, despite their otherworldly appearance, are the friendliest faces in every hamlet or town. Legends say that beneath the tangles of limbs and layers of complex fabrics, lies a creature seeking refuge. They make a wonderful cup of coffee - and often offer you something stronger. Perhaps a healing flask will see you well..? Take care, good host. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/e413b291699c60a74fbe4180445278671c2197a7.png

Combat

You then follow Nor as she exits the Coffee Shop, and enters a battle with a group of Lost Souls. These conscripts of the Undead Army have been dragged above the Great Below to fight on behalf of the Gods. Enki can be seen prepping these enemies for critical hits using a curse, which makes them easy targets for Nor a she lands a critical melee with her Axe, followed by a swift shot with her pistol. These curse, melee, and primary fire combinations are something we’ve worked hard on to bring you satisfying combat experiences. They’re super fun to execute! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/310a39da7d382b1591df3b541507561590c98984.png Nor continues on and encounters an enemy with projectile weapons called a Cannoneer. Quite a grotesque form of mobile artillery - the Gods fused their bodies around a pair of cannons. Nor uses her Destructive Descent to knock back and damage the enemy, and uses a series of Shadow Charges, melee attacks, and pistol shots to defeat him. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/5b064d0bc82d28689718434aa0f141397792d9c6.png

Lodestones

Lodestones are areas of rest where you can replenish energy and consumables, as well as alter your skill tree. Unlike campsites however, you cannot upgrade your weapons here. You see these briefly in the gameplay teaser - Enki particularly likes to rest precisely in the middle of them. Using one of these will bank your reputation (that is the percentage you see on the left of the HUD - it’s essentially an XP multiplier that breaks when you take damage of any kind). You spend those points on the Skill Tree in game - more will be revealed on that in the future. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/0048282d8fd0bb896084b3cdb845eb92ddbd7e02.png

Boss Battles

Nor’s next altercation is with the aptly named The Annihilator. All boss battles in the game come with a unique enemy, who has their own fighting style and combat patterns - and in the case of the Annihilator, his crude (but effective) shield requires disarming before significant damage can be inflicted on him. You’ll learn how to disarm shielded enemies early in the game - and Nor does so with her axe. He also leaks a corrosive fluid - gross, but something to be aware of. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/f79e456e0c9f8e76dedcb9c123227d50fb6a47d3.png

Rifting

Nor opens a Rift so that she can leave the area and gain some height to survey the next location. Rifting is a mechanic that aims to hep you get to previously inaccessible areas and to help you advance the story or your missions - so if you’re ever stuck, ask yourself, “should I look for a Rift..?” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42110188/f0b4aa4bee7df5680c3fb50cd05fb73d054a4b8b.png
