Valor Mortis Marches Into Its Napoleonic Nightmare Today — original editorial gaming news illustration

One More Level's first-person Soulslike Valor Mortis launches today on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and other announced platforms, bringing a particularly unpleasant supernatural twist to the Napoleonic Wars. Players control a former soldier who rises from death into a world where history has become tangled with monstrous forces, supernatural powers and a conspiracy surrounding Napoleon Bonaparte, voiced by Vincent Cassel. The first-person perspective gives Valor Mortis an unusual identity among Souls-inspired action games, where third-person cameras are practically part of the uniform. Instead, parries, melee attacks and grotesque enemies occupy uncomfortable amounts of screen space, making encounters feel closer to immersive sims and first-person action games while retaining the deliberate timing and punishment associated with Soulslikes. One More Level previously demonstrated with Ghostrunner that it understands fast, precise first-person combat; Valor Mortis deliberately slows that expertise into something heavier and more methodical. It also arrives through Xbox Game Pass, giving curious players an unusually low-risk route into its high-risk combat. Napoleon's historical campaigns already went badly enough in several directions. Adding undead soldiers and supernatural horrors seems excessive, but videogames have never been famous for leaving history tastefully alone.
