Pixel-Art RPG Dimlais Sets September 15 Steam Launch With 8-Player Co-Op
A small pixel-art action RPG is pitching eight-player co-op and a deep race-and-class build system at a moment when most co-op action games in that style cap out at four players, which is the detail that will decide whether it finds an audience beyond the Shining Soul comparison.

Dimlais, a pixel-art action RPG, is scheduled for release on PC via Steam on September 15. It supports solo play and seamless co-op for up to 8 players. Players build a hero from 8 races and 6 classes and use more than 300 spells in real-time combat. The game is set in the Land of Mirkea, laid waste by war, and lets players expand a fortress base that unlocks quests and enhancements.
The game is set in the Land of Mirkea, laid waste by war, and the protagonist is an immortal being who awakens and fights the darkness stirring underground. Character building is the draw: an elf can master magic, a minotaur can charge the front lines, and the two are combinable parts of one system rather than fixed archetypes.
Combat is real-time action with no random encounters, and the design leans on player skill and adaptability. Expanding the fortress base unlocks new quests and enhancements, and companions can be welcomed into it, where trust and love deepen through romance elements. Weather and seasons shift as the land reacts to what the player does.
