In an exciting update for fans of cooperative roguelite games, NACON and Passtech Games have announced the arrival of Geppetto, a new hero joining the ranks of Ravenswatch. Inspired by famous tales and legends from around the world, Ravenswatch challenges up to four players to confront the corrupting forces of the Nightmare in the world of Reverie. Developed by the studio behind the highly acclaimed Curse of the Dead Gods, Ravenswatch is currently available in Early Access on Steam and is set to release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in 2024.
Geppetto: The Seventh Fallen Hero
Drawing inspiration from the beloved story of Pinocchio, Geppetto emerges as the seventh fallen hero to join Ravenswatch, bringing along his puppet companions. With his innovative skills and inventive combat style, Geppetto has found a way to compensate for the loss of his arm, making him a formidable addition to the team.
A Unique Hybrid Combatant
Geppetto excels as a hybrid combatant, seamlessly blending close-quarters combat with ranged attacks. As a mad inventor, he can summon puppets to fight alongside him, utilizing their strength in battle. Despite his old age, Geppetto’s new creations are eager and ready to confront the Nightmare’s forces.
Balancing Risk and Reward
One of Geppetto’s primary strengths lies in his ability to engage in combat while minimizing risks. Armed with a hammer and explosives, Geppetto’s arsenal allows him to utilize his attacks and combat techniques on both enemies and his own puppets. This unique approach enables him to heal, protect, and unleash his creations onto the battlefield.
Reliance on Inventions
However, Geppetto’s reliance on his puppet creations is also his main weakness. While he can keep a safe distance from danger, he must often get closer to his henchmen to maintain control over them. This delicate balance adds an additional layer of strategy for players to master when playing as Geppetto.
