Succubus
The first gameplay for Succubus has dropped on us and we can get a slight taste for what Succubus will have in store for us soon
Here we go with the first actual gameplay for Succubus to try to enjoy as it has been one long road to get here. That is, if you want to ignore all of the gameplay we have had to experience in Madmind Studio's previous title, Agony, where the character was first shown off. Sure, we did not get to play as the titular Succubus in that game, but we did get a little taste. Now we just get to see her in her full-ish glory as she moves about Hell and kills off all of the lower level demons out there. Or human souls. It is kind of hard to know here, but it does at least give us a feel for it all. Something one would expect in a game about a creature that is all touchy-feely. Well, at least they should be.
As one could have expected, Succubus has us back in the first-person view of it all as we take on mostly melee combat with a bit of shooting. It does seem to be a little more hectic, puns are fun, than expected but we do have three weapons to cycle through here. The traditional short-range but fast, the average medium-range, and then the slow and heavy option to deal out massive damage. Mix in a bunch of the fire powers that the Succubus has at her hand, and we have a fairly straightforward style game here. I would think that we would be using something other than fire-based powers in Hell, but we do what we need to do I guess.
If you have not jumped right on to watch the new gameplay for Succubus, take this word of warning. It is uncensored here and also shows off what looks to be like ways for the character to regain strength and health. The usual stuff like stomping babies, beating females until their unborn baby falls out so we can eat it, and then the sex minigame that should be along for a title called Succubus. You have been warned as it does show quite a bit of all of that and watching at work may not be the best idea. Hells, watching where anyone else is around may not be the best of ideas but you do what you are going to do. Only the minimal of judging will happen from this end.
Succubus — Gameplay Reveal
The main character of the game is Vydija, a wild and lustful Succubus demon. The players were able to learn a part of her story in the original Agony and Agony UNRATED, where she received her own single-player campaign.
With the disappearance of the legitimate rulers of Hell, the remaining demons recognized Nimrod as their ruler, because he was the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. By raising his new empire from the corpses of sinners, the new king, along with his new queen Vydija, managed to control the chaos left by the former rulers.
The new title didn't fit the Succubus. The life of luxury and walking on rugs sewn from the skins of martyrs was not for her though, and so she has chosen a life in the wilderness of Hell.
During her travels, the new queen meets the powerful Baphomet who, together with his army, is going to get the soul of Nimrod. Captured, maimed and betrayed by her own species, Vydija is left with only one goal that matters — revenge!
How are you feeling about Succubus based on this first big bit of gameplay we have to take in? Were you hoping that we might get to see more of a third-person aspect for combat or will you be enjoying the first-person view more? Do you think all of these other little things are in there for a good reason or are they in for "gross-out" factor and to generate buzz for the game? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss away. As we learn more for Succubus, we will add it all to the site for you. All you need to do is keep checking back in for all of that and much more along the way.
