New Roguelike 'Horns of Deliverance' Pits Players Against a Killer Brain Implant

Published on 08 March, 2026

A new entry in the action roguelike genre, titled Horns of Deliverance, has been announced for PC via Steam. The game introduces a high-stakes narrative hook where the protagonist's own brain implant becomes a hostile entity actively trying to kill them.


The core gameplay loop revolves around surviving this internal threat while engaging in grounded gunplay. Players are tasked with reaching the end of procedurally generated levels, but the twist lies in resource management: to interfere with the lethal brainchip and stay in control, the protagonist must consume various psychoactive substances. These mechanics are paired with diagnostic alerts and health monitoring provided by the chip itself.


Key Features and Mature Themes


Beyond the central mechanic, the title promises variety through enemy types and equipment upgrades available between runs. The developers have noted that the game includes mature content, specifically highlighting blood, violence, substance use, and themes regarding mental illness.


System Requirements and Availability


While a specific launch date has not yet been confirmed, the Steam page lists the title as "Coming Soon." Minimum system requirements suggest a baseline of an Intel Core i7-4790K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, alongside a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 470. The game will require 2 GB of RAM and is listed for Windows 7 through Windows 10.
