Succubus

A new enemy for Succubus, the Cherubs, is here to add in more terror and fun for Succubus when the game launches

It has been a while since we have had something truly new for Succubus outside of some fun little images and screenshots for the game. That does seem how Madmind Studio has been going as of late for the title. That does mean we get to come back as we have here for Succubus with a new enemy and demon type we will have to face off within this game and the other that it is based on. This enemy being the Cherub. Not like the ones you may be thinking of with all of the angelic features, but more of a monstrosity that is fitting for the setting we will all be in when the game launches.

More or less, the Cherubs will be more of a basic enemy in Succubus from the sounds of it. They will fly around and throw fire at us and then swarm when they outnumber or if they have the advantage. They usually will only strike us when a more powerful demon is around too as it sounds like they will have that level of relationship in Succubus here. All of which is based on the text description of their gameplay and not the horror that the reveal trailer has for them. Something that is an amazing flesh-crafted beast with wings. Have a look and see what will be haunting our skies soon.

Cherub Characteristic

Cherub is a demon who, like the iconic Onoskelis, can wield fire. Using pyrokinesis, he tries to keep the right distance from the player to minimize the risk of direct contact, which usually ends fast and brutal.

Cherub is not a character who prefers an honorable duel, which is why he usually appears in numerous groups, trying to encircle his victim.

Lore

Cherub is a type of demon that was born of sin, while various species of infernal creatures began to interbreed with each other. The deformed body of this creature often moves in contradictory logic, giving the impression that each of the two demons joined together lives according to their own rules. His survival often depends on more powerful demons who live in correlation with him, benefiting from each other. When the characteristic scream of Onoskelis resounds in hell, it is the Cherub who is the first to arrive, helping in the fight and hoping for the possibility of eating warm corpses.

Gameplay

This type of demon usually attacks his victims when outnumbering them. He tries to circle the character and set it on fire with long-range fireballs. He often responds to the call of more powerful beings, arriving at the indicated place and supporting a larger demon in the fight. Only by killing the demon that summons Cherubs, you can stop the next ones from incoming.

Solo Cherub is an easy-to-kill character, so he tries to engage in combat only when the player is in a duel with stronger opponents.

Tactics

• Start the elimination with a demon that summons Cherubs
• Always be on the move and use dodges to bypass ranged attacks quickly
• Use environmental traps to hurt many Cherubs at once
• Deflect attacks by pairing them at the right time
• Use magic and long-range attacks
• Use alternative weapon attacks and nail cherubs to walls and ceilings
