No Rest for the Wicked — a dark action RPG from the creators of Ori
Moon Studios made their name with the bright, fairy-tale Ori metroidvanias, then took a hard turn and released No Rest for the Wicked — a brutal top-down souls-like action RPG where hand-painted beauty sits right next to genuinely punishing combat. It's the story of the island of Isola Sacra, a plague that eats people from the inside, and your hero standing alone against a rotting world. Here you buy a Steam gift for the whole game and we send it straight to your account.
Who you are in this game
You play as a Cerim — a holy warrior imbued with magical power. The Cerim go where ordinary people are already helpless: a Pestilence has broken out on Isola Sacra, a sickness that turns the locals into mindless monsters. Your task is to burn it out. But things tangle quickly: the island is torn between the rulers of the kingdom and the rebels who want to overthrow them, and the Cerim has to decide whose side they're on.
Isola Sacra and the town of Sacrament
The heart and home base of the game is the settlement of Sacrament. As you progress and complete side objectives, the town literally comes to life and grows before your eyes: new shops, craftsmen and opportunities open up. Sacrament isn't a static backdrop but a project you rebuild yourself, and what it becomes depends on your actions. Wandering its narrow, detail-packed streets is a joy in itself — the Moon Studios artists stayed true to form.
Combat and gear
Combat here is heavy, deliberate and calculated — every move costs stamina and mistakes get punished. Weapons are split by rarity, and each has its own moveset: a two-handed sword plays nothing like paired daggers or a hammer. Gear can be enhanced with runes, tuning your build to your style — from a heavy tank to a fast, dodge-happy fighter. Loot, crafting, repair and trade all tie into Sacrament's economy, so there's plenty worth saving up and investing in.
Early Access and the 1.0 launch
The game entered PC Early Access in April 2024, and Moon Studios have reworked it heavily since. The full 1.0 version is planned for October 2026 on PC and PlayStation 5 — with the conclusion of the main story campaign, a new horde mode, a reimagined class and progression system, new endgame content and dozens of hours of fresh material. One thing to keep in mind: buying the copy now gives you the Early Access build, and the 1.0 update lands in that same copy automatically after release — no extra payment.
What you actually receive
You're getting a Steam gift for the base game of No Rest for the Wicked. After payment, our bot adds itself to your Steam friends and sends the gift — usually within a couple of minutes. You don't need to accept a friend request: the bot handles everything itself and leaves your friends list automatically after delivery. Steam Guard isn't required for this. All you do is accept the gift — and the game appears in your library like any normal purchase, with updates and cloud saves.
The gift region — the key condition
Steam gifts come with one rule worth knowing up front: your Steam account region must match the gift region. If the regions don't match, Steam simply won't let you accept the gift. So enter your account's real country/region in the order field and pick the matching gift variant. And second: you must not already own the game — a gift can't be accepted for a game already in your library. Meet both conditions and there'll be no trouble receiving it.
Who it's for
No Rest for the Wicked isn't a game for unwinding: it's demanding, slow in the best sense, and it punishes haste. If you love souls-likes where every fight is a small game of chess, appreciate hand-painted visuals and don't mind digging into crafting, economy and building up your own town, this is your title. The game is in Early Access right now, so you're essentially joining the early stage of a big story and watching the project grow patch by patch all the way to the full 1.0 launch. If instead you want a clean story-driven action game with an ending here and now, it may be worth waiting for the October 1.0 release that wraps up the main campaign.
