Feast of the Beast: Unleashed

About Feast of the Beast: Unleashed

Feast of the Beast: Unleashed is a top-down action shooter with survival elements set in a post-apocalyptic Romania. Developed by Copycor Dev Studios, it launched on December 31, 2026, for PC. You play as one of two siblings battling through a world infected by TOX-Z, an alien toxin turning humans into monstrous Devoured. The game spans open environments like ruined cities and toxic forests, offering solo or co-op play. Three vampire clans, Strigoi, Asanbosam, and Vetala, each with unique powers, fuel progression. The goal is to uncover secrets buried in Valachia while managing resources, upgrading weapons, and surviving waves of enemies. It’s a mix of fast-paced combat and strategic planning, blending exploration with clan-specific abilities.

Gameplay

Gameplay revolves around managing health, stamina, and ammo while navigating a fragmented open world. You and your brother (or co-op partner) fight through procedurally generated waves of Devoured enemies, using vampiric powers like blood absorption or cybernetic enhancements. Each clan offers distinct playstyles: Strigoi rely on stealth and hacking, Asanbosam tank with steel-fused melee attacks, and Vetala switch bodies to bypass traps. Combat is frantic but methodical, scavenge for resources, upgrade skills in a branching tree, and balance aggression with retreat. Missions involve clearing zones, extracting data from labs, or defending positions during boss fights. Controls are arcadey but responsive, with a focus on positioning. The toxin’s spread forces you to race against time, as environments degrade and enemies mutate.

What Players Think

PlayPile community ratings average 8.4/10, with 62% completing the main story. Average playtime is 18 hours, though 34% report over 30. Reviews highlight the clan power diversity and co-op synergy, but 27% cite repetitive enemy behavior and clunky AI. The mood is mixed: 45% label it "addictive" for its loop of upgrade-combat-repeat, while 22% call it "frustrating" due to resource scarcity. A Steam user wrote, “The clans make each run feel unique, but the enemies are too easy to phase through.” Achievement completion sits at 78%, with 43% unlocking all clan-specific milestones. The game’s price point of $39.99 is seen as fair by 58%, though 19% argue it should be discounted for performance inconsistencies.

PlayPile's Take

Unleashed is best for fans of co-op shooters and survival loops, but its flaws matter. The clan mechanics and world decay add depth, but enemy variety and AI could use polish. At under 20 hours for a full playthrough, it’s a shorter experience for the price. Achievements reward completionists, but don’t pad the runtime much. If you crave top-down action with vampiric flair and can tolerate rough edges, it’s worth a try. Skip if you hate resource micromanagement or prefer deep single-player stories.

Storyline

Welcome to Valachia, a region devastated by the arrival of TOX-Z, an alien substance capable of rewriting life, blood, and consciousness. When the plague erupted and humans fell, the monsters living in the shadows were forced into the light. In this new order, three vampire clans dispute control of the night: Strigoi, masters of digital espionage and mental manipulation. Asanbosam, warriors fused with steel and biotechnology. Vetala, scientists capable of moving between bodies and challenging death. Amidst the conflict, you and your brother are part of the chosen lineage to stop—or unleash—the power of TOX-Z. You fight together, side-by-side, against hordes of Devoured, mutant creatures, and monstrosities born from the toxin. Feast of the Beast II: Unleashed is a top-down shooter with survival elements, set in an extensive open map that spans ghost cities, contaminated forests, dilapidated industrial zones, and forgotten laboratories across Valachia. Play solo or cooperate with your brother (and other allies) in co-op mode, combining toxin-altered powers and a customizable vampiric arsenal. Explore. Upgrade. Evolve. Discover the secrets buried beneath Valachia and face the destiny that binds you during the imminent Crimson Eclipse.
