One More Level has released Valor Mortis, a soulslike action game set in a plague-ravaged Europe. Players control William, a soldier fighting for Napoleon’s cause, as they navigate interconnected levels filled with secrets. The title is available today for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Game Pass, with support for Xbox Play Anywhere.
Combat centers on a resource loop where blade strikes break enemy posture, while firearms target weak points to replenish ammunition and nephtoglobin. Defense is equally vital; players can parry attacks or block to restore health through counter-attacks. The developer notes that attack animations cannot be canceled, requiring players to commit to their movements carefully.
Build customization relies on Ambers, which can be slotted at lanterns to alter gameplay mechanics. Options like Marksman’s Bane allow for bullet parrying, while Butcher’s Carnage forces an aggressive playstyle by replacing standard healing with health-restoring melee strikes. Players are encouraged to experiment with different Transmutations and items when facing challenging bosses.
Exploration is rewarded through a metroidvania-style structure, where unlocked abilities grant access to previously unreachable areas. Optional paths contain journal pages, echoes of the fallen, and hidden mini-bosses that provide unique rewards. The developer emphasizes that discovering every secret in a single playthrough is unlikely.
