Developer SummerClip has officially announced that their anime-style 3D action roguelite Ved: Recure will be launching for PC via Steam on September 22. Alongside the release date, the studio shared details on the full version’s expanded content and systems following earlier demo playtests.
Set inside a mysterious game world, the game gives players a chance to experience a story centered on rediscovering lost passion for games. Early in the journey, players awaken after adding their 1,000th title to an overflowing library and find themselves trapped by a condition known as V.E.D. Guided by Demeowrge, the God of Games, the protagonist must undergo a special “treatment” by fighting through challenges, exploring strange environments filled with roaming robots and shifting weather, and collecting Buffs to rekindle enthusiasm and find a way back to reality. The adventure requires explorers to carefully build custom combat styles while progressing through four distinct chapters and confronting a series of formidable bosses.
During combat, players can utilize a flexible Buff Chain system that assigns effects to core actions such as Combo Finishers, Special Attacks, Dodge Counters, and Parries. Performing the corresponding action activates the attached Buffs in sequence, allowing powerful interactions to emerge through careful linking. The most interesting feature is the ability to mix and match over 150 Buffs with more than 50 pieces of equipment, creating builds suited to each encounter and a preferred balance of offense and defense. Players are encouraged to experiment with the seven playable characters, each offering unique combat mechanics and progression paths that deliver distinctly different playstyles. Outside of direct battle, the full release adds Boss Rush, Endless Mode, and Training Grounds, while resource acquisition and progression systems have been streamlined for a smoother overall experience. Full Japanese voice-overs are included, featuring performances from Ikumi Hasegawa, Tomoyo Takayanagi, Mai Kadowaki, and others.
Ved: Recure is currently scheduled to release on PC via Steam on September 22, and can be wishlisted now.
