After a year in Early Access, spellbinding action RPG Vellum has fully released!

For those who do not know what Vellum is, it is a roguelike game where your goal is to enter the vast Illuminated Library world, either solo or up to 4 player co-op. What draws me to Vellum is the game’s heavy emphasis on magic, and I love how much it prompts players to experiment with loadouts.

With the huge number of spell combinations and power ups, Vellum looks like a solid take on the saturated roguelike genre, with enough twists to stand out for itself. It also helps that the setting looks gorgeous: who wouldn’t want to explore a vast magical world? We need more magic in our lives.

Vellum is available on Steam, and is 30% off until May 16. Have you tried the game while it was in Early Access? Will you try it out now it has hit the big 1.0? Let us know!
