About the Game

Step into a land infested by the massive Horde of Viscount

Traverse through both classic-vania stages and regions with exploration where you use subweapons for your advanced movement.  Be wary, you only have a limited amount of these subweapons. Instead, you must plan your actions wisely. Use the Dash Knife to attack your enemies from far away? -or perhaps use it to flee? 

The fun doesn't stop there:

  • Any Ending for Main Story Quest takes 10 hours, but 25 hours for all endings, 40 hours for 100%, then 80 hours for the map randomizer rogue-lite mode.

  • Build the town back to its former glory using materials from your adventure.

  • Accessibility with difficulty levels available from casual up to souls-bourne-ring.

  • Traverse treacherous classic arcade stages and exploration areas.

  • The equipment you find drastically changes how your character plays such as: shoot fireballs, shake the earth when you jump, Make the environment explode, and even more dramatic features.

  • Trade with various merchants in a no economy system

  • Complete quests to improve the town and new loot

  • Craft powerful subweapons to mow down hordes!

  • Level up different stats using the materials you find while exploring the world

  • Having trouble on a stage? There are infinite lives, no game overs here!

  • Complete the game to unlock the hidden map and item randomizer roguelite mode!

Can you unlock all four endings?
