Deep Silver bringing side-scrolling action brawler Sacred Citadel to PSN

Deep Silver has detailed Sacred Citadel, its upcoming side-scrolling action brawler, over on the US PS Blog.

Rupert Ochsner, brand manager at the company, described exactly what developer Southend Interactive are trying to achieve with the game.

“We have been fans of classic action brawlers for a long time. And it grieved us a little that, in recent years, there has been a lack of quality titles that truly harken back to the golden age of brawlers,” he wrote.

“Remember the fun you had with this kind of game, especially when playing co-op with your friends? That is exactly what we want to bring back with Sacred Citadel!”

The game mixes a vibrant visual style with extreme violence: a combination that usually sits perfectly together. Four unique heroes are available to control, all of which possess their own combos, special moves, skills and equipment.

Alongside the continuous hack ‘n slashery, players will also collect loot from towns, experiment with different weaponry and level up a variety of abilities. Vitally, the game includes both local and online co-op.

Check out the trailer below:

Wow, the game doesn’t look that bad at all.

Art style seems to borrow heavily from World of Warcraft.

Yeah, looks great fun! We could do with more coop Golden Axe / Gauntlet style games. They’re a fucking blast with a few mates.

I wish someone would resurrect Gunstar Heroes…

Looks sweet, I would rather grab it for Steam than PSN. Oh well, I’ll wait for a sale or a PS+ promotion.

Isn’t this basically like Shank and castle Chrashers though. It looks cool still but wheres Guardian Heros for PSN? XBLA has it why not PSN?

Anyway I’ll pass on this too backlog and I can see by the summer this will be free for PS+

The PSN version was already announced back in August 2012, altogether with XBLA and Steam version. So this is nothing new.
