Lyrical Games will make its market debut this week with the launch of Soulslike game “Valor Mortis.”

Set in a supernatural reimagining of 19th-century Europe, “Valor Mortis” lets players take on the part of William Dowsett (voiced by James Alexander), a resurrected English soldier of the Grande Armée who wields both Napoleonic-era weaponry and devastating supernatural powers. The game also stars Vincent Cassel as the legendary Napoleon Bonaparte and Jennifer English as The Shrike, a key figure in the resistance to Napoleon’s war.
