World Exploration

Game Format

• Metroidvania / Soulslike World – Creation is a sprawling and interconnected land of myth. Discover shortcuts, use keys, and search down hidden paths to unearth every last secret.
• Bosses – Creatures of fallen empires and heroes long lost stand in your way. Some require strategy. Some require weaponry. Some desire a duel. Others still, must be challenged with friends.
• Puzzles and Riddles – The road is long and weary–be creative.
• Platforming – The way is often blocked. You’ll need to find another.
• Rewards and Exploration – Relics lost to time are yours to claim—if you can find them. Exploration is worthy.
• Progression – Become a messenger of death as weapons are upgraded, spells grow stronger, and fighting stances reveal themselves.

Specialties

“This one is different.”

• Master Close Quarter Combat Like Never Before (in First-Person!) – Kick, grab, roll, and execute anyone who stands in your way.
• Expressive and Powerful Movement Abilities – Skillfully pivot your slide around corners, down slopes, kick or jump off walls, and alternate between rolling or side-stepping in intimate duels. These are easy to use but will take time to master.
• Player-Versus-Player – Duel other players for glory in one-versus-one, two-versus-two, and three-versus-three arenas.

Weapons

“I offer you a gift… an instrument. This one never speak to me anyways.”

• Each weapon can be improved several times to unlock hidden abilities, traits, and catalysts.
• The Soulslike one-hand / two-hand system is present, changing the attributes of every gun, sword, and tool at your disposal. Change hand forms to adapt your fighting style to the situation + hone your own creative playstyle. Two-handing unlocks powerful abilities on the weapon but leaves you less mobile.

• Spells and Auras can be cast to change the course of the fight. Each spell can be charged, and each aura can be cast in multiple ways that best suits the situation
• Powerful build-crafting opportunities between four ring slots, stances, weapons, spells, garbs, catalysts, and more.
