This upcoming co-op roguelike hack-and-slasher looks like Braveheart crossed with Heavy Metal

Revealed during today's Summer Game Fest showcase, Tears of Metal is a roguelike co-op hack-and-slasher in which a battalion of angry Scottish warriors (because they're always angry) butcher their way through massive hordes of enemies who have invaded their island, driven by the dark, dangerous powers of the Dragon Stone Meteor.

Players will have access to multiple unique characters and more than 100 "artifacts" that can be combined with powerful upgrades to create "distinctive and devastating builds." Your stalwart soldiers gain experience between campaigns that will enable permanent upgrades, but the flip side of that coin is that permadeath is a problem: If they go down, they stay down.
