《逆神者》(THE GOD SLAYER)是即將問世的開放世界蒸汽朋克奇幻角色扮演遊戲，由《波西亞時光》系列的開發商帕斯亞科技精心打造，目前計畫在PC、PS5 以及Xbox Series X|S平臺推出。開發團隊將遊戲描述為：“踏入一座東方美學與蒸汽朋克交織的都市，在這裡，被稱為‘天界者’的神明以鐵腕統治一切！玩家將扮演一名拒絕向造物主屈服的元素術士，身負元素之力，懷抱復仇之火，挑戰並推翻神祇的統治，最終加冕為——逆神者。”遊戲以東方文化為背景，結合蒸汽朋克元素，玩家作為“練氣士”將以凡人之軀在神明統治的世界中行動，掌握五行之力，展開弒神之旅。

背景設定極具深度與傳奇色彩。遠古時期，神以強大力量創造世間萬物，讓所有生靈一生孕育名為“氣”的能量，而當生靈死亡，這些凝練的氣便會匯入神界，使神獲得永生。然而，好奇的人類逐漸摸索出將氣轉化為五行元素力量的方法，掌握這種能力的人被稱為“練氣士”。神感到威脅，於是對大陸最強大的“周國”發動突襲，一夜之間國王被殺，練氣士遭到追捕與屠戮，這一天被後世稱為“神臨日”。主角的家人在神臨日慘遭屠戮，於是踏上了弒神之路，不僅為了復仇，也為拯救百姓脫離神的統治。

需要在遊戲中不斷學習並強化元素之力，從古老卷軸中破譯失傳秘法，向元素大師學習新技能，提升體內氣的運行與強度。元素之間存在複雜的相生相剋規律，例如火能燃木，水能滅火，火水交互可產生蒸汽；金能破土，土能擋火，玩家必須在戰鬥中靈活運用這些互動規律，才能取得戰鬥優勢，這使遊戲戰鬥充滿策略性與變化。

在遊戲的社會結構中，普通民眾雖敬奉神的創世之力，但對神臨日的暴行心生恐懼，不得不順從神的統治。然而，亂世之中仍有勇者反抗，“摘星會”便是核心反抗力量。在神秘而睿智的導師領導下，摘星會聚集了各地反抗者，成為挑戰神權的希望，其目標簡單明確：驅除神靈，還公義於人間。

主要舞臺為周國首都，這座城市位於兩江交匯處，江水滔滔流向東海。城市正值蒸汽技術鼎盛時期，天空中飛翔著各式飛艇，江河上蒸汽船破浪前行，街道間單軌列車穿梭，蒸汽汽車在集市旁疾馳。上層貴族享受空調豪宅與機械洗衣桶的便利，而貧民區大多數人仍在煤灰遍佈的工廠辛勤工作，或在貴族特權壓迫下艱難生活。城市中派系林立，各方勢力為自身利益爭鬥不休。必須結交盟友、互通人情、收買關鍵官員，才能在對抗神與強大神軍的過程中取得一線優勢，但同時，城市中監視的眼睛無處不在，一步錯誤，可能導致全盤皆輸。

《逆神者》透過融合東方文化與蒸汽朋克的開放世界設計，配合五行元素互動、戰略性戰鬥以及社會派系操作，打造出一個既具有深度劇情，又充滿策略與自由探索的角色扮演體驗。玩家不僅將沉浸於弒神復仇的壯闊故事中，也能在蒸汽朋克的都市風景和東方幻想的細節世界裡自由冒險，感受每一次決策與行動的分量與影響力。

“THE GOD SLAYER” is an upcoming open-world steampunk fantasy role-playing game developed by Pathea Games, the studio behind the My Time at Portia series, and is planned for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The development team describes the game as follows: “Step into a city where Eastern aesthetics meet steampunk, ruled with an iron fist by gods known as the ‘Celestials.’ Players take on the role of an elemental mage who refuses to bow to the creators. Wielding the power of the elements and burning with vengeance, you will challenge and overthrow the gods’ rule, ultimately rising to become—the God Slayer.” Set against an Eastern cultural backdrop fused with steampunk elements, players, as “Qi Practitioners,” navigate a world under divine dominion, mastering the five elemental forces to embark on a journey of god-slaying.

The game’s lore is rich and legendary. In ancient times, the gods created all life with immense power and instilled in every living being an energy called “Qi.” When a being died, their Qi would flow into the divine realm, granting the gods immortality. However, curious humans discovered how to convert Qi into the five elemental forces—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Those who mastered this power became known as “Qi Practitioners.” Threatened by this, the gods launched a sudden attack on the continent’s most powerful nation, Zhou, killing the king overnight and hunting down Qi Practitioners in a violent purge. This day became known as the “Day of Divine Arrival.” The protagonist’s family is slaughtered during this event, setting them on the path of vengeance and rebellion—not only to avenge their loved ones but to liberate humanity from divine oppression.

Throughout the game, players must continuously learn and strengthen their elemental powers, decipher lost secrets from ancient scrolls, and acquire new skills from elemental masters to enhance the circulation and potency of their Qi. The elemental system is deeply strategic, with complex interactions such as fire igniting wood, water extinguishing fire, fire and water combining to create steam, metal breaking earth, and earth blocking fire. Players must leverage these interactions skillfully in battle to gain an advantage, making combat dynamic and highly strategic.

In the game’s societal structure, ordinary people revere the gods’ creation but live in fear of the atrocities committed on the Day of Divine Arrival, compelled to obey divine rule. Yet in this era of chaos, brave individuals rise in rebellion, forming the core resistance known as the “Starpluckers.” Guided by a mysterious and wise mentor, the Starpluckers unite scattered rebels into a force capable of challenging the gods, with a clear mission: to drive out the divine and restore justice to humanity.

The main setting is the capital of Zhou, located at the confluence of two great rivers flowing into the East Sea. The city is at the height of steampunk technology: airships sail the skies, steamships cut through the rivers, monorails traverse the streets, and steam-powered cars speed past bustling markets. The upper class enjoys air-conditioned mansions and mechanical laundry devices, while the majority of the lower class toils in coal-dusted factories or suffers under the oppression of privileged elites. The city is a maze of competing factions, each pursuing their own interests. Players must forge alliances, cultivate relationships, and bribe key officials to gain any advantage against the gods and their formidable divine armies, all while under constant surveillance—one misstep can mean total ruin.

THE GOD SLAYER combines an open-world design with Eastern cultural and steampunk aesthetics, interactive elemental systems, strategic combat, and faction-based social dynamics to deliver a role-playing experience rich in narrative depth, tactical gameplay, and freedom of exploration. Players will not only immerse themselves in a sweeping story of revenge against the gods but also freely explore a detailed world where every decision and action carries weight and consequence.
