Sancticide

About

Sancticide casts you as Ezechiel, a soldier tasked with purging corruption in a world unraveled by divine judgment. Armed with a mix of ranged and melee tools, you cross ruined cities and desolate landscapes to eliminate sinners, mutated creatures, and remnants of old civilizations. Combat blends cover-based shooting with light RPG progression, letting you upgrade abilities and gear to handle escalating threats. The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling and sparse dialogue, framing your mission as both a holy duty and a personal trial. Set in a bleak, biblical apocalypse, the game leans into its stark visuals and moral ambiguity to unsettle players. Red Square Games, known for atmospheric projects like The Surge, crafts a world where every encounter feels weighted with consequence. Early builds suggest a tense, methodical pace that prioritizes survival over spectacle. With a release date set for 2025, it’s shaping up as a niche but bold entry for fans of grim, story-driven shooters.
