Water Physics Showcased in This Indie Action Game's Latest Combat Footage

Developers of 13Z, an upcoming hack-and-slash roguelike action game, have presented new progress on their project in this clip showcasing stunning effects with its water physics.

In May, we first spotted this indie game developed by Singapore-based studio Mixed Realms Pte Ltd. If you missed the article introducing it, 13Z presents an appealing yet challenging premise where players take on the form of animal spirits and are tasked with claiming the title of the 13th Zodiac.
