About the Game

Lich of Might melds fighting game and twin-stick shooter elements to recreate boss battles from the other perspective. You are the final boss. Counter the invading heroes with movement and arcane abilities. Directional inputs are used to cast offensive and defensive spells. The action is snappy and relentless. You must think quickly to stay ahead of the foe.

This is an experimental, indie title made by a solo developer. Lich of Might presents a skill-based challenge with a learning curve. You are left to master the challenge with minimal guidance. The vintage aesthetic evokes the end of the 8-bit era, with a fantasy/horror theme.

Note: spiders in this game can be turned off.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING: 

This game contains visual effects that were previously used to overcome technical limitations of earlier machines. This includes sprite flickering and screen flashes. The visuals may affect people with photosensitive epilepsy or any other sensitivities to flashing light. The trailer does not fully capture these effects due to screen-capture limitations.
