SummerClip's Ved: Licure Launches On Steam September 22
The Steam release is the Chinese studio's first work on the platform, and the Buff Chain system, where pickups only pay off once matched to a specific action, is the piece SummerClip is betting on to separate the game from a crowded roguelite field.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Developer SummerClip announced on September 16 that Ved: Licure, a high-speed action roguelite, launches September 22 on PC via Steam. Players control 7 characters through 4 areas and 16 bosses, using normal and special attacks plus dodges and just guards. Buffs only activate once slotted into a Buff Chain, with 9 categories and more than 150 types alongside over 50 equipment types.
SummerClip's roguelite runs on the premise of a working adult who has logged 27 straight days of overtime, buys their 1,000th backlog game, and gets pulled through the screen into it. The playable cast is 7 characters with distinct weapons, among them katana, guns, and giant hammers.
A run covers 4 areas with multiple stages each and a boss at the end of every area, 16 bosses total. Clearing a stage's enemies yields rewards, but Buffs stay dormant until they are placed into a Buff Chain and the matching action, such as a normal attack finisher or a counter, is performed. A trial version is already available, with Japanese voice support announced on September 2.
