FuRyu is bringing Crymelight to PAX West beginning today, giving attendees another opportunity to play the upcoming roguelike action game. Crymelight is set in an afterlife where its characters confront their sins while fighting for freedom. The developer previously demonstrated the game at Gamescom and has also confirmed a Tokyo Game Show appearance later this month. The PAX West demo runs throughout the September 4-7 event, making today's opening another step in the game's international preview campaign rather than a commercial launch.
Featuring an intricate weapon-switching mechanic, fluid dash parries, and procedurally generated purgatory realms, the title has generated strong buzz following initial showcases at Gamescom in Germany.
FuRyu has confirmed that after PAX West, Crymelight will be showcased at Tokyo Game Show later this month. Read more international event coverage on [/news](/news) and track preview impressions on [/release-radar](/release-radar).
