Article: Valor Mortis Is A First-Person Soulslike From The Ghostrunner Devs, And It Rules by Wesley LeBlanc

Immediately, it’s clear Valor Mortis is a One More Level game – it isn’t Ghostrunner, but it feels right at home in this team’s lineage. It’s much slower, naturally, but dodging and parrying feels similar to Ghostrunner II, and though it’s set in a fantastical take on a wartorn 19th-century Eastern Europe, I can see it’s the same visual team behind One More Level’s cyberpunk series. In fact, game director Radosław Ratusznik tells me in an interview that the visuals of this new IP are heavily influenced by the Soulslike nature of the game.

He says the Ghostrunner games feature gorgeous visuals by One More Level’s art team, but due to the game's nature, players speed right past its vistas and sights. With Valor Mortis’ slowed-down pace, he’s excited for players to see what these artists can cook up. It’s another reason Valor Mortis is a first-person game, besides the fact that first-person is where One More Level feels most comfortable.
