About the Game

STORY

Long ago, the Celts and their culture ruled much of the land. But various natural disasters and invasions by other peoples decimated their population and brought their culture to the brink of extinction. Before this, the Celtic gods were devastated but accepted the fate that had been imposed on them. All except the evil Morrigan, who decided to corrupt the much-revered land of the Celts to prevent that fate.

The Druid is a roguelike 2D platform game where we play as a druid, created from Dagda, whose mission is to stop Morrigan and free the land of its corruption.

KEY FEATURES

  • A modular generation system to offer a great experience in different levels of the game.
  • Up to 54 available upgrades to combine with our character and obtain new abilities.
  • The game will feature three playable areas that will be full of enemies, from the simplest to bosses that will make a difference in combat.
  • The Celtic god Dagda asks for help to defeat the evil Morrigan and stop the corruption she is spreading through the world.

Project made for the B.A. in Interactive Product Design of U-tad, University of Technology, Arts and Design.
