Into the Pit is a spellcasting FPS roguelite with lashings of Heretic and Bloodborne

Hardly a week goes by without a new retro-styled FPS emerging, and Into the Pit isn’t even the first (hello, Forgive Me Father), but it’s probably the only one where your character throws up devil horns on beating a baddie. Revealed at Xbox’s Gamescom presentation today, Into the Pit is a spellcasting FPS roguelite set in a village harried by a “demonic pit”.

When a village suddenly earns itself a demonic pit you just know demons are going to come out of it, and that they’re going to need to be murdered. As a “lore-hunting mystic” that’s what you’ll be doing in Into the Pit, all in the interests of finding your cousin Luridia who has seemingly fallen afoul of the pit.
