No Rest for the Wicked is a fresh take on the ARPG genre developed by Moon Studios, creators of Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It has hand-crafted worlds and a painted art style on a dark yet beautiful island known as Isola Sacra.

This island will hold stunning forests, challenging mountain passes, and treacherous crypts. Each of these locations will feature unique protagonists who have their own problems, tough creatures, secrets, and hidden treasures.

Unlike traditional ARPGs, No Rest for the Wicked uses stamina-based precision combat like Souls games and WASD movement. This will be a pleasing gaming experience, especially for those who prefer skill-based and timed combat over pure button smashing.

For those who enjoy gaming with friends, you’ll be happy to know it will also feature a multiplayer mode where players can share their world and progress with three friends in the online campaign co-op mode.
