Tears of Metal, a roguelite hack-and-slash game featuring William Wallace, entered early access on PC via Steam yesterday.
The title from developer Paper Cult puts players in control of Scottish historical figures battling demonic invaders across randomized battlefields.
It combines Dynasty Warriors-style combat with roguelite progression, where runs allow unlocking magical abilities and army upgrades.
Co-op support for up to four players is included, though the review notes the early difficulty can be punishing with limited healing options.
The game uses a comic book art style and is available now in early access, with plans for further updates based on player feedback.
