Sigil Games Launches Metroidvania Divinum on Steam
Divinum brings air-combo combat and a rune system built on playstyle-changing modifiers and trade-offs to Steam's crowded Metroidvania field.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Sigil Games released Divinum, a side-scrolling Metroidvania, on Steam. The game pairs hack-and-slash combat with exploration of caves, swamps, catacombs, and ruins. Players chain combos with two weapon types and special skills, launching enemies into the air, with dodge, guard, and parry options. Runes collected from exploration and boss fights alter combat style with unique bonuses and modifiers, some carrying costs. Divinum sells for 1,800 yen, discounted to 1,620 yen until September 12.
Protagonist Fior explores forgotten caves, eerie swamps, catacombs, and sacred ruins on a northern island, uncovering hidden secrets and facing invaders. The rune system is the build core: instead of flat stat boosts, runes grant powerful unique bonuses and modifiers that change how combat works, and some demand a trade-off.
Sigil Games plans post-launch work on bug and balance fixes, player feedback, achievement localization, and additional languages. Replay-focused content and extra challenges are scheduled within the next few months. Divinum is available on Steam for 1,800 yen, with a 10 percent launch discount to 1,620 yen through September 12.
