FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
SAN FRANCISCO – July 26, 2022 – The brutal 2D action RPG The Tarnishing of Juxtia is now available on Steam. Developed by Actual Nerds and published by Mastiff, The Tarnishing of Juxtia features kinetic 2D combat across uniquely styled kingdoms, deadly traps and hazards – and massive, vicious bosses rendered in arcade-quality pixel art that never ceases to amaze.
 
Playing as the final creation of the Goddess Juxtia – and choosing from a staggering variety of weapons, armor sets and abilities – players are tasked with defeating the Shadow God Drelium of Crescentpeak … a mysterious, alien realm filled with strange machinery and occult magic.
 
Dark fantasy visuals and a hauntingly beautiful score are perfectly matched to the addictive ‘Souls’-inspired 2D action-RPG gameplay found in The Tarnishing of Juxtia. Furthermore, the innovative “Energy Rush” system allows players to get a super-charged boost of stamina and mana after landing consecutive attacks – proving consistency just might win the day against even the most fearsome of beasts.
 
The Tarnishing of Juxtia delivers the Souls-like action RPG gameplay fans have come to expect from the best titles in the genre,” says Bill Swartz, president and CEO of Mastiff. “No matter how many times we played the game during development, it never failed to blow our collective minds. Actual Nerds has swung for the fences – and guess what? They hit a home run!”
 
“We hope everyone enjoys playing the game as much as we enjoyed working on it,” says Aaron Brown, co-founder, Actual Nerds. “This has been a long journey for our team and we are really excited for players to finally get their hands on the full game."
