The creator of Double Hitler is making an RPG called Slasher's Keep

Remember Double Hitler? You should, we called it one of the best free online games on PC. Its creator, indie developer Damian Schloter, is back with something very different to the game that revealed Hitler was actually two children in a large coat. Schloter's next project is a first-person dungeon crawler called Slasher's Keep.

In the tradition of Eye of the Beholder and Legend of Grimrock, Slasher's Keep will have traps and secret doors and orcs to smack until numbers fly out of them. It's also got a sweet cel-shaded cartoon style, and when you sword an orc in the face the word FACE flies out along with those numbers. Plus you can push enemies into spikes or pits or, as the trailer shows, hack through a support beam so that barrels roll down onto the,.

The levels are randomly generated as are the items you'll find, and there's also a crafting system because of course there is.

Slasher's Keep is coming to Early Access on Steam soon. You can follow Schloter on Twitter for regular updates.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
