The wait is finally over for fans of gothic atmosphere and high-octane action. Power Up Team has officially unleashed Vespera Bononia on Steam, inviting players to survive a nightmarish reimagining of medieval Bologna.

If you’ve been looking for a roguelite that blends technical third-person combat with the eerie aesthetic of Italian folklore, this is one launch you shouldn’t miss.

A Cursed City Reimagined

Vespera Bononia isn’t just a fantasy world; it’s a “dark digital twin” of the historic city of Bologna. The developers have used real-world architectural scans and references to transform iconic landmarks—from the Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi to the city’s famous towers and underground catacombs—into a shifting, arcane labyrinth.

The result is an atmospheric masterclass where the familiar becomes frightening. You’ll navigate four distinct biomes, each teeming with grotesque enemies inspired by Ulisse Aldrovandi’s Monstrorum Historia (the famous 17th-century “Book of Monsters”).

Four Characters, One Shared Soul

The game’s standout mechanic is its Soul-Catalyst system. Rather than being locked into one playstyle, your soul is shared across four distinct characters, each with unique magical abilities and weapon synergies.

Real-Time Swapping: You can switch between classes mid-combat to adapt to emerging threats.

Deep Build Customisation: Collect relics and effigies during each run to refine your powers.

Frenetic Combat: Expect a brutal mix of third-person shooting, dodging, and bullet-hell encounters.

Available Now with a Launch Discount

To celebrate the release, Vespera Bononia is available on Steam for $9.99 / £8.50, and early adopters can snag a 10% launch discount for a limited time.

Whether you’re a veteran of the roguelite genre or a sucker for a well-realised gothic setting, the streets of Bononia are calling. Just remember: in this city, every defeat is simply a step deeper into the mystery.

“Master the blend of magic and bullet-hell to survive the fast-paced, ever-changing chaos that grips the streets. Face your destiny in Bononia.”
