About the Game



Metamorphos challenges players with fast-paced melee combat in this third-person, hack-and-slash, combat game inspired by Dark Souls. Awaken the legendary Guardian and hack, slash, and dash your way through a beautiful desert environment while fighting denizens, wildlife, and warriors corrupted by darkness. Make your way into the Temple of Amathani and confront Nafaset, the Defiler to restore the blessed oases.

Made by Spicy Dice Studios, a student team at DigiPen Institute of Technology, Metamorphos represents intense interdisciplinary collaboration from students pursuing art, audio, design, and programming degrees coming together to deliver a polished experience.



  • CHALLENGING ENEMIES - Fight your way through ever-increasing odds as you cleanse the environment and defeat corrupted foes. Square off against two unique bosses and remove the heart of the corruption.
  • FAST-PACED COMBAT - Test your mettle in action-packed encounters that will challenge your reflexes and decision-making.
  • EXPLORE BREATHTAKING ENVIRONMENTS - Venture through beautiful hand-crafted vistas and environments that were made from scratch by students at DigiPen Institute of Technology.
  • IMMERSIVE AUDIO - The creatures and atmosphere of Metamorphos exhibit both lush and scathing sound effects, sending the player through the level, immersing them in their surroundings and the impending danger lurking around each corner.



This game was developed as a student project at DigiPen Institute of Technology and was created for educational purposes only. Please check out our publisher page for more information.
