About
Covenant is a first-person dark fantasy action adventure game where you’ll wilder a large interconnected world, passing through kingdoms and peril—discovering fighting stances, spells, weapons, and gear forged by the men of renown, heroes of old.
Key Features
- Seek the Old Notes – Experience Creation through the eyes of the last living messenger—a warrior angel sent to carry out the will of the Composers. The oldest of your kind, Malach, has fallen to the abyss—leaving in his wake a trail of destruction. You must follow in the footsteps of his final days in order to uncover the nature of his fall—and in doing so, reveal the slumbering forces hidden within Creation.
- Interconnected Soulslike world – Creation is a sprawling and interconnected land of myth. Discover shortcuts, use keys, and search down hidden paths to unearth every last secret. Puzzles, riddles, platforming, and exploration are all part of the journey.
- Bosses – Creatures of fallen empires and heroes long lost stand in your way. Some require strategy. Some require weaponry. Some desire a duel. Others still, must be challenged with friends.
- Campaign Cooperative Play and Player-Versus-Player
- Play alone.
- Play with.
- Play against.
- The choice is yours.
- Master Close Quarter Combat Like Never Before (in First-Person!) – Kick, grab, roll, and execute anyone who stands in your way.
- Expressive and Powerful Movement Abilities – Skillfully pivot your slide around corners, down slopes, kick or jump off walls, and alternate between rolling or side-stepping in intimate duels. These are easy to use but will take time to master.
- Player-Versus-Player – Duel other players for glory in one-versus-one, two-versus-two, and three-versus-three arenas.
- Each weapon can be improved several times to unlock hidden abilities, traits, and catalysts.
- The Souslike One-Hand / Two-Hand System is Present – Changing the attributes of every gun, sword, and tool at your disposal. Change hand forms to adapt your fighting style to the situation + hone your own creative playstyle. 2-Handing unlocks powerful abilities on the weapon but leaves you less mobile.
- Spells and Auras Can Be Cast to Change the Course of the Fight – Stances don’t just change your elemental affinity—they change your entire fighting style down to the way you run, jump, kick, and slide. Each stance playstyle varies drastically. And every may take a lifetime to master.
- Powerful build-crafting opportunities between four ring slots, Stances, Weapons, Spells, Garbs, Catalysts, and more.
- Progression – Become a messenger of death as weapons are upgraded, spells grow stronger, and fighting stances reveal themselves.
