Saviorless Available Now For Consoles And PC

Saviorless Available Now For Consoles And PC

, , , 0

Publisher Dear Villagers and indie game developer Empty Head Games have introduced a new dark fantasy Metroidvania to the market, Saviorless. The game is live now on PS5, Switch and PC and sports an interesting hand-drawn art style — but it’s from a region of the world we don’t typically see art from. In the three simultaneous roles of Antar, the mysterious masked Savior, and rabbit-like friend Nento, you will journey through a land seemingly named ironically (“the Smiling Islands”). It’s now full of monsters, but you’re full of magic, so we’ll see who triumphs over who. Are the islands truly saviorless or can the trio bring peace to the land again? There’s an interesting story behind this game — it is, technically, the first indie video game ever produced in the country of Cuba to be released globally. “Despite initial success and support, the team faced setbacks due to political tensions, budget constraints, game name trademark conflict, and the loss of a key member,” the press release states. “However,

Hunter X: code name T is an action-based Metroidvania from Korean developer Orange Popcorn that launched on Steam last December. It makes its console debut as of today with its launch on Switch in America and Europe. Hunter X: code name T is the sequel to HunterX, a similar title that was released in 2022. In that game you played as a young teenage devil hunter who ends up following her target through a crack in spacetime into another world — and has to battle a lot of monsters to get back out. The sequel stars a different character, with the same occupation…but this time the monster world is even bigger, the number of weapons and items you can collect is even greater and the enemies are more ferocious than before. Embark on a fateful journey through a world straddling the past and future, as the devil hunter Taiyo seeks to confront his own identity and vanquish formidable foes under the luminous glow of the returning Purple Moon. A fast,

Ghost Song – A visually stunning post apocalyptic 2d Metroidvania

Ghost Song – A visually stunning post apocalyptic 2d Metroidvania

, , 5

Ghost Song is a visually beautiful 2d hand-drawn aesthetic Metroidvania game. It is an action-adventure with role-playing games (RPG) components, but it also has a profound story. As you progress through this dystopian world, you will have the opportunity to level up the main character’s abilities. I remember in an episode of the History Channel series, The Universe, A scientist said that exploring the Jovian Moons (Moons of the Planet Jupiter) would be better than Mars. It would be more productive to look for life on the moons that orbit gas giant planets than to search for life on other planets. I refer to the fact that within our solar system alone, it has been shown that there are moons that contain oceans and rivers that are hidden beneath a layer of frozen ice. Simply the moon Europa contains more water than all of Mars combined. If there is water, there is life so that those moons may have life forms. Also, scientists have discovered more Gas giants as extrasolar planets over terrestrial

Chinese publisher 18Light Game Ltd and developer Joy Brick Inc have announced the release of their aquatic metroidvania game Pronty: Fishy Adventure. So what’s fishy about it? Pronty is a half-fish, half-human creature (though not of the “mer” variety) from the underwater city of Royla. But the city’s been attacked, and Pronty must find out why. Armed with Bront, your living javelin partner, you must swim your way through treacherous environments to pin down the perpetrators, as well as uncover the history of Royla’s existence — and maybe even Pronty’s own. Bront is controllable separately once you launch it; the javelin is handy for clearing obstacles Pronty can’t touch himself, or for attacking boss weak points that are hard to reach. Pronty’s “Memory Board” allows you to not only collect upgrades and abilities, but combine them into more powerful ones. Unique “underwater javelin” combat system Remotely control your javelin partner to repel enemies, remove obstacles, or protect yourself.

Marko: Beyond Brave Reaches Kickstarter Goal

, , , , 0

A few weeks ago Studio Mechka launched the crowdfunding campaign for its upcoming game Marko: Beyond Brave. The campaign is officially a success, hitting its funding goal yesterday. Now with eleven days to go, they’re working on the stretch goals. In Balkan and Slavic folklore, there’s a legend of a medieval hero named Marko who possessed super-strength and roamed his kingdom battling enemies and saving the downtrodden. The Marko stories greatly resemble the superhero tales popular today, proving there are no original ideas, but the point is, Marko’s never had his own game until now. With courage as large as his mustache, he hops and bops through the metroidvania world of Zagora, solving puzzles, defeating bosses and upgrading his weapons and skills.  Traditional 2D art: Inspired by classic Disney cartoons all of our art is hand-drawn.  Challenging, but fair gameplay: Responsive controls, jump, fight and dash your way across challenges. Battle mighty foes and slay ancient evils.  Explore the vast land of Zagora: With over 15 hours of gameplay, the

Majesco To Bring Back Monster Tale

Majesco To Bring Back Monster Tale

, , , 0

In 2011 Majesco Entertainment released a unique game called Monster Tale that was half Metroidvania platformer and half pet-raising sim. You played as Ellie, a blue-haired kid trapped in Monster World and looking for a way home. At least one monster seemed to be friendly: Chomp, a little guy who quickly became her best friend and adventuring partner. The game originally premiered on the DS. A souped-up 3DS version was announced a few years later, but then quietly dropped. Looks like Ellie and Chomp may finally be getting their comeback, though, this time for modern platforms like Switch and PS4. Players in Monster Tale experience a seamless blend of classic gameplay styles of puzzle-platformers, Metroidvania, and pet management as they seek to rid the fantastic Monster World of the evil ragtag group the Kid-Kings. Working together Ellie and Chomp must learn new skills in order to return the world to the rightful hands of the monsters and help Ellie return home. Monster Tale features a beautifully crafted world of 2D
