Deadhaus Sonata is an upcoming free-to-play cooperative[3] action role-playing video game developed by Apocalypse Studios and directed by Denis Dyack.
[8][better source needed] Deadhaus Sonata is an online action role-playing game, where the player controls a single character from a third-person perspective, alone or with up to five other people.
[9] The player will fight hordes of enemies, collecting large amounts of loot, and fulfilling quests to gain experience points and more equipment.
Dyack has titled this 'the Trinary Archetype System',[12] mentioning that many themes in Deadhaus Sonata will be influenced by the balance of these attributes in the world.
[18] Dyack has referenced in many instances his inspirations for Deadhaus Sonata being his previous games, saying his team would combine parts of several of his past projects into the game such as "Lovecraftian overtones from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, the Gothic role-playing elements of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, where you are undead, and finally, some of the action RPG elements of Too Human".
