In the game Dead by Daylight, the one thing any survivor really wants is to have a gun. Thankfully, there’s now an option for you to pick up a piece and explode it, thanks to a new horror game altar. Set in a spooky version of the Wild West, this multiplayer game looks like it’s adding a few twists to the genre, and you can play it right now.
Like other asynchronous horror games, Altarium asks you to choose a side in this battle between good and evil. Similar to the big names in the genre, you can choose from a team of survivors (the game’s bounty hunters) and bloodthirsty horrific monsters. The bounty hunters are here to escape the cursed town of Golden Horn, and their opponent is Lux’zul, who is working to stop them and protect them from the power of Korrian, the Dark God.
The biggest difference between Altarium and other games is its perspective. Instead of being stuck in a third-person perspective, survivors are dropped directly into an environment more akin to an FPS game. As a result, what you get is more like a hunting showdown from DBD, albeit without the extraction elements. You also have the means to fight back, at least a limited one.
When the game was first launched, there was an online game mode, and there was also an offline single-player mode against the game’s artificial intelligence. With a large number of characters to choose from, each with their own abilities, and the developer promising that the game will have a long line of updates, Altarium looks like it might be offering something different in this area.
Altarium is out now and you can buy it with a 40% discount until Monday 4th November. Go to steam Learn more and find out if this is the Wild West DBD you’ve been secretly looking for.
