You'll have an objective in each level, often as simple as just clearing out the entire area of monsters, or something more specific like rescuing souls or destroying ritual sites. Instead, the levels in Larva Mortus are more akin to Robokill, which features a series of inter-connecting rooms in each level. Unlike the aforementioned Crimsonland and RIP, levels aren't one big area to run around in, waiting until you can kill every monster on the screen. Quests are scattered across your map screen in the form of letters, with details available on each one such as objectives and difficultly level. You'll need to take a few beginner quests first to beef yourself up and get some better weapons. You can level-up RPG-style by gaining experience points for every monster you kill, letting you raise a variety of attributes including speed, health regeneration, melee power and more. You'll begin the game rather weak, with just a broadsword and a six-shooter. There is a main storyline to follow that begins with you uncovering a long-lost artifact, although you won't be able to jump right into it when you first begin. You're job as a monster hunter is to assist helpless citizens being plagued by the undead or other supernatural entities. The story takes place in Europe, beginning in the western part of the continent. Be forewarned: there's a fair amount of 'gore' (blood) in the game as you chop and blast your way through enemies, although there is an option to turn the gore off, replacing the red blood with green blood, or even no blood at all. Not necessarily your typical Silent Hill or F.E.A.R.-type scary more along the lines of a B-movie horror flick. And rightly so, as it's one of the creepiest action/shooter games I've played in quite a while. Plow through monsters and demons with your trusty broadsword and an assortment of weapons, such as shotguns and flame throwers, to rid the land of supernatural evil forces.Įven after scouring Google for a good 10 minutes, I couldn't find any actual meaning for the phrase 'Larva Mortus,' so we'll just have to assume the developers wanted to give it a spooky name. In Larva Mortus, you play a 19th Century ghost hunter (or rather, an 'agent of exorcism'). It's called Larva Mortus, a top-down shooter in the style of classics like Crimsonland and the RIP series, and the even more-recent Robokill. Hot off the presses comes a new title from Rake in Grass, developers of the ultra-successful Jets 'n' Guns.
