- Developer Diary #6 - Combat - 14 March 2024
Greetings, Striver! Last month, we introduced some of the weapons and the four melee combat styles you can experience. This month, we will show you the main types of player movements you get to use in the game and how the combat has grown through the game’s development in Morbid: The Lords of Ire. General Combat In Morbid: The Lords of Ire, combat is fluid like a dance - by keeping active, you can get the most out of combat and kill more enemies with ease. By timing your blocks and attacks, you are able to reserve more stamina and fare better in your battle against evil. Basic Attacks Swing your weapon to perform a range of combo attacks. Combos are different depending on your weapon class and wielding style. Rage Breaker When an enemy becomes Enraged it cannot be staggered. When you encounter a raged enemy, perform a Rage Breaker attack to break through before they regain their posture…
- Developer Diary #5 - Weapons - 5 February 2024
Greetings, Striver! This month, we would like to show you just some of the gut-wrenching and powerful weapons that you will find in Morbid: The Lords of Ire. Which will you choose to slaughter the hideous creatures that await your path? Sword of Dibrom The Sword of Dibrom is a legendary sword that the Striver is allotted at the beginning of her gruesome journey. Every Striver receives the sword when they first begin their training. It is a fine sword and has served the Striver well through many dire scenarios. Though its power has waned over the years, the blade still reminds her of the path she has hitherto fared. “The sword still reminds you of the path you've hitherto fared. Its warm hilt has guided you through the cursed hamlet of Solya, the murky streets of Yortael, the putrid Felfields, and the deadly maze that was Grimwald's Grove. By its trusty blade, many a mighty foe has falle…
- Developer Diary #4 - Blessings - 3 January 2024
Yuletide Blessings to you, Striver! We hope that you have all had a festive and merry Yuletide season! As an extra little gift, we're here to bring you a sneak peak into the Blessings feature in Morbid: The Lords of Ire. Similarly to Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, the Blessings in Morbid: The Lords of Ire allows the player to build their character by levelling up and customising the skillset of the Striver in even more varied and tangible ways. The Blessings can be found one by one as you progress through the game and find artifacts (Tomes of Insight) which you return to Yan, the Blessed One, in the Hall of Redemption to be deciphered. Yan also allows you to upgrade tiers and buy more slots for your Blessings using Skill Points. There are maximum of three Blessing Slots, each upgradeable up to level three. Blessing of the Healer *Blessing Card Concept Art Blessing of the Healer gifts the p…

Greetings, Striver! The land of Ire has been divided into five realms, governed by the five factions and led by the five Acolyte leaders - 'The Lords of Ire'. In Morbid: The Lords of Ire, you must battle your way through these realms, facing horrid monstrosities, special encounters and quests. Ultimately, one by one, it is your goal to defeat the five Acolyte lords.

- Developer Diary #2 - Monsters - 27 October 2023
"Had they then known what plague the Gahars had once unleashed upon the kingdom of Mornia, they could have avoided the dire mistake of granting their flesh to the malevolent gods. But alas, Ire fell under the sway of the Gahars and their new brood of dreadful Acolytes." The five realms of Ire are full of gruesome and ghastly foes - enemies that will not let you, the Striver, pass so easily. Players of Morbid: The Seven Acolytes will have experienced a taste of the twisted and gory demons, bred from the vastly creative minds at Still Running. However, now in a highly detailed and visceral 3D workspace, the development team have taken the disgust and dismay to a whole new level. Discover a new order of execrable enemies with a special look at Behind-The-Scenes screenshots, artwork and models below! ~ Nahka ~ ~ Skin Gatherer ~ ~ Gnawed Cadaver ~ ~ Carnivorous Rampha ~ All in-game images ar…
- Developer Diary #1 - The Striver - 6 October 2023
"By redeeming Mornia, and liberating the kingdom from under the sway of the Gahars and their Acolytes, the last Striver of Dibrom so completed her sacred mission. But while her mission ended, her duty resumed, for even with all the Acolytes slain, the Gahars themselves never truly died." As you may have seen from our new store capsule imagery, The Striver has become a much bigger focus of Morbid: The Lords of Ire, as the Morbid franchise shifts from 2D pixel-art to 3D immersion. The brand-new featured art from the team at Still Running gives us our first detailed look at our fearless protagonist, Striver. Players of Morbid: The Seven Acolytes will recognise our main protagonist of the game's sequel, Morbid: The Lords of Ire. Years after defeating the Seven Acolytes and liberating the kingdom of Mornia from evil, Striver returns as duty calls upon her once more, as another set of abysmal…

- A word from the developer - 10 December 2020
Hello everyone, this is Santeri Relander here. I'm the main coder and CEO of Still Running, among other things. Some of you may have already noticed that I've been replying to the reviews, and forum post's actively. This is what I've always done, ever since I released my first game on Android back in 2013. I feel that engaging with the community is very important, and to make yourself available for any questions and issues that may rise. (I actually very much enjoy talking about a game I've worked on with other people!) Right now however, I feel overwhelmed. I didn't expect so much attention for the game, and I think I'm going to need to take a couple of days just to focus on the game itself. A bit of backstory We've been working on Morbid for almost two years now. We currently have three very talented artist's at Still Running, one of which is also our level designer. We also have our…
