New Sacred Citadel screens show off the hammer of life (not official weapon name)

Deep Silver has released a few new images for Sacred Citadel. The game is due out sometime next year and is set to feature beat 'em up gameplay with RPG elements.

These particular screens display some of the action you'll see in Sacred Citadel. Specifically, there's a dude kicking a lot of ass with his hammer of life. That's not actually what that weapon is called (at least I don't think so), but I'm still going to totally call it that when I play the game.

Sacred Citadel will launch on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC in 2013. If you're a fan of co-op brawlers, keep an eye on this one.
