Supergiant Games aims for story-driven originality in its third game, Pyre

Supergiant Games has thrived on its ability to create games that are like no other. And it has done that again with its demo of Pyre, a fantasy role-playing game with a very unusual combat system.

Pyre has an unusual two-dimensional art style with a lot of text-based dialogue. It is deliberately old school in its approach to graphics, but it has gameplay that is very original. Pyre is the third game created by San Francisco-based Supergiant, which also had big hits with Bastion and Transistor.
