Valor Mortis Launches to Mixed Reviews as a Bold Napoleonic First-Person Soulslike
Valor Mortis, a first-person Soulslike set against the backdrop of Napoleon's Grande Armée, has officially launched on PC, and the reviews are in. The game blends Napoleonic warfare with a grotesque, necromantic horror setting, swapping the familiar bubonic plague trappings of the genre for something described as a "fleshy, pustulating" supernatural menace on the battlefield. Critics broadly agree that the game's atmosphere and world-building are its strongest assets, with Destructoid calling the combination of history and monster-hunting "the perfect Soulslike setting," and Rock Paper Shotgun praising it as one of the freshest entries in the genre in years.
