Anthropomorphic hack-and-slash action game Verminsteel announced for PC

The team behind the popular game SkateBIRD, Glass Bottom Games, has revealed their next project, Verminsteel. It’s an action game where you play as a bird battling large groups of enemies, and it’s scheduled to release on PC via Steam in 2027.

According to Megan Fox, founder of Glass Bottom Games, the idea of neighbors helping each other is central to the story of Verminsteel and its characters. She hopes the game will encourage players to connect with their own communities and find ways to contribute, or even start their own local initiatives.

Here is an overview of the game, via Glass Bottom Games:
