Sancticide delivers a unique blend of combat and strategy, integrating direction-based fighting with rogue-lite elements. Players are required to harness both spatial awareness and tactical thinking to succeed. The arsenal includes a variety of melee and ranged weapons complemented by supernatural "Purple" powers. These abilities, otherworldly in nature, allow manipulation of the environment, object movement, and time alteration, paving the way for strategic depth in your journey to extinguish sins.

The game introduces the concept of Kosherness—a system determining which items and beings are acceptable or frowned upon by higher powers. This mechanic influences quest outcomes, NPC relationships, and overall player progression. Death in Sancticide isn't just a setback; it's a crucial part of the learning curve, helping players refine tactics and improve with each run. Set against the backdrop of a biblical Apocalypse, Sancticide invites players to survive in a harsh world where death signifies not the end, but a new beginning.

Development Journey & Early Access, Full Launch: 

Set in a semi-open world, Sancticide allows players to explore, interact with pivotal characters, and combat a variety of enemies using customizable weapons and powers suited for a sin collector. From its demo phase to early access, and eventually a full release, the game is set to expand—adding more levels, enemies, quests, and weaponry, and will ultimately introduce an online multiplayer mode.

In the Demo, players can navigate the initial level and training area, engage with a select group of enemies, and delve deep into the narrative introduction. The early access phase and subsequent full release will broaden the scope with an array of quests, cutscenes, and the opportunity for online play with friends.
