The first trailer for Void Martyrs, a dark top-down action game, was unveiled during The MIX Spring Showcase. This title, which will be available in the fourth quarter of 2025, offers an experience where you take on the role of a nun in a spacesuit, sent on a crusade to stop a biomechanical plague. The game combines elements of survival, horror, and roguelite mechanics, and will be available on Steam.

To survive, you must scavenge for remnants and fight for resources among space cathedrals and bunkers. Crafting tools and weapons is crucial for survival at the edge of a black hole. Every location has a relic at its center, but finding and defending the relic from the biomechanical monster that haunts you requires strategic thinking and quick reactions. If the nun dies, the Church will send another crusader to retrieve her blessed remains and continue the mission.

One of the most striking features of the game is the Stigma System, which affects the gameplay depending on your choices. Holy or cursed Stigmas can unlock different items and abilities, while managing sanctity becomes crucial for survival. A strong Stigma can make the nun divine enough to resist the biomechanical monster that pursues her.

Additionally, Void Martyrs features procedurally generated levels. Roguelite mechanics allow for meta-progression, while the hand-crafted art style adds a special charm to the game. Inspired by games like Darkwood, Signalis, Blasphemous, and Void Bastards, Void Martyrs offers a dark and atmospheric experience that will satisfy fans of horror and action games.
