About
Aeterna Noctis is a 2D hand-drawn Metroidvania supported by PlayStation Spain as part of their program PlayStation Alianzas. It tells the story of the King of Darkness and his never-ending crusade against the Queen of Light for the throne of Aeterna. Long time ago, both leaders were cursed with the gift of immortality and sentenced to fight each other until the end of days.
Players will experience this never-ending conflict through 16 challenging levels, each one chock full of dangers, each zone more different from the rest—including more than 100 different enemies, over 20 powerful bosses, and dozens of challenging puzzles.
