Early Access, Full Release Date: Sep 14/2023
This is a fast-paced Roguelite inspired by the Metroidvania Aeterna Noctis. Create your own worlds, challenges, difficulty and influences in each new run. Die, learn, become stronger, and achieve victory. Death is inevitable, but glory is only for the chosen. It combines world crawler mechanics never seen before in the genre with a fast-paced combat system and a unique 2D art style. Taking the role of the King of Darkness, a mighty, powerful, and badass warlord condemned to eternal life, you'll explore uncharted territories populated with treasures, traps, hordes of enemies, and powerful bosses. Explore wild territories, descend into the most dangerous deeps of Aeterna, and fight your way to the end of each world... If you can. It allows players to keep their progress, featuring a permanent character and world upgrade system. No matter how many times you’re defeated, your progression in the skill tree will be saved, as well as the world improvements you unlocked will last forever. It includes a unique world generator system never seen before in the genre, the Seed Mechanic... Each one generates a unique world with different enemy behaviour, special events, and even a larger map size, depending on the rarity and the genes contained in the germinated seed. The world modifiers, so-called “seed genes” are positive and negative attributes included in each seed you find. They will determine the dangers, encounters and rewards waiting for you once you start playing. Seeds create worlds and genes make each seed different from the last, and so will the worlds generated from them. Brutal fast-paced combat and frantic action - The key to surviving is killing every single living (or undead, depending on the enemy) being you encounter. How to achieve that? Well, you play as a cursed monarch... Your weapons are crafted for a king. Show no mercy, use your swords, pistols, and scythes to make them beg for their miserable lives before they do the same to you... You will choose a starting weapon at the beginning of each world, but you can switch it for a better one, whatever its type... It’s up to you and your skills. It also includes weapon customization options thanks to the gems, precious stones that increase weapon attributes and add cool upgrades. Add new offensive and passive capabilities and improve the combat performance of your weapons by embedding gems. Every weapon, seed, and gem you find has a rarity level: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Relic. The higher the rarity of an item, the more benefits it provides to the player. A weapon's rarity determines the number of gems that can be embedded in it, among other things such as damage level. Gems with higher rarity make higher upgrades to your tools of destruction. And as for the seeds… You guessed it, the less common it is, the greater rewards and dangers on the other side of the portal. You can define your own adventure. Each world will give you lots of rewards, including new seeds and currencies to upgrade your character skills, unlock new weapons, make the ones you already have even more deadly, and, of course, improve the attributes of the world. You can unlock new special rooms, increase the rarity of the items you find, and alter the world conditions by the world upgrade menu. You can also modify the rarity of your current seeds by mutating their genes or recycling the ones you don't want to get a seed with a higher rarity... Everything is set up to make each adventure different from the last. Beautiful art style - Each asset, enemy, NPC and animation has been hand-drawn using traditional 2D animation techniques... Everything you see from the smallest chest to the most colossal boss, is possible thanks to countless hours of hard drawing work. |
