Indie developer Prime Cut Games has launched the Steam page for Zealot, their long-awaited action-adventure with Slavic themes.

The Steam store page for Zealot is now live and you can wishlist the brutal action game with Slavic themes, though a release date is sadly still not confirmed.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus an old gameplay trailer:

Zealot is a challenging top-down action adventure which takes place in an unforgiving land inspired by Slavic religion and folklore. Take on ungodly deities, forge weapons from ages past, and uncover long lost relics in your mission to reinstate the one true faith.

Story

You awake in an unforgiving land overrun by mythological Pagan deities and their worshippers. In this controversial and unconventional hero’s tale, it is your mission as the last bastion of your faith to put an end to everything in your way and bring back the old glory of Orthodoxy. In your path stand the various great gods of Slavic Paganism, destroy them and take back what belongs to you by overthrowing this world’s beliefs and reinstating the one true faith.

Adapt to your very own play-style by fine-tuning your weapons through an engaging blacksmithing system and by equipping salvaged relics and prayers that will help you on your journey as you eradicate every vestige of Paganism found in this world.

Key Features
