In case you missed it, check out our previous coverage of the game’s reveal.
Warrior – Wields two-handed weapons to deliver slow but devastating attacks, and absorbs more hits than her companions. She’s a craftswoman who happily spends her days at base camp creating arms and armor for her fellow heroes.
Wanderer – A versatile combatant who wields a sword and shield. He’s a jack of all trades and master of none at base camp. Whenever one of his comrades leaves to explore the Abyss, he takes over the responsibilities of their facility.
Princess – A mysterious kind-hearted young woman encased in a giant crystal. When seven strangers suddenly show up, drawn to her side by seven strange lights, she asks them to brave the Abyss and find the King.
King – The former ruler of a peaceful, prosperous kingdom. When a series of natural disasters led to widespread unrest, turning his subjects against each other, he responded by robbing them of speech and leaping into the Abyss. No one has seen him since…
Caster – A world-class alchemist. He chooses to fight from afar by casting powerful spells and teleporting away from danger. He’s always eager to synthesize new materials for the group using his cauldron back at base camp.
Fighter – A fighter who satisfies the group’s bellies with amazing meals. She isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty in the kitchen or on the battlefield. This glass cannon mows her enemies down with fast, powerful attacks.
Farmer – A farmer that uses abilities that buff herself and weaken enemies. She can also call upon small animals to aid her in combat. At base camp, she tends a tiny farm, growing yummy fruits and vegetables that the whole group can enjoy.
Archer – A hunter who has an affinity for animals. He brandishes his bow to shoot foes from a distance and nimbly dodges most attacks heading his way. At base camp, he takes care of the group’s livestock.
Rogue – A maid by trade with many hidden talents. In battle, she takes advantage of stealth, status effects, and superior speed to catch her enemies off guard. At base camp, she crafts items of peerless quality for the group.
SilentHope will release on October 3, 2023, on Nintendo Switch and PC.
