About the Game

Nephilim is a student-made isometric combat and exploration game set in a dying fantasy land. As Strider Lazarus, you'll learn to master both Light and Shadow to vanquish the foes standing in your path.

Switch between the Light and the Dark worlds to empower your abilities, get over obstacles and solve puzzles. 

Fight Angels and Demons alike using all the tools in your arsenal! You'll need to master everything to defeat the game's many bosses.

  • Fast and Charged attacks

  • Special unlockable combos

  • Powerful Light and Dark Ultimate Abilities

  • Holy Sword Summon

    Speed is of the essence. Move quickly to evade attacks, Health Potions can run out quick!

Keep your eyes peeled for Upgrade Gems. Each one takes you one step closer to being to ultimate warrior. Invest them at Bonfires to increase Strider Lazarus' stats and to unlock new combos, attacks and special abilities!

Nephilim was made over 4 months by a team of six developers and features an original soundtrack by Nerveight.
