A fateful night of sorrow and ancient magic changed the life of a young child forever, and with it, everything else as mankind knew it. For 9 long years, the world has been submerged in the deepest of shadows, robbing every object and living creature of their color, their joy, and most importantly, hope.
Many brave souls have tried to venture inside the corrupting depths of Talos Castle, a long-abandoned orphanage from which the curse stemmed. All have failed, except for one. Armed with little other than her halberd and sheer nerve, Europa’s daunting quest is clear: enter the castle, find the source of darkness, and return color to the lands before it is too late.
However, this adventure is not for Europa to face alone. In her most desperate hour, Europa encounters Apino, a cute magical bear with the ability to heal, cleanse the corruption and protect his allies.
While exploring the castle, Apino can shoot powerful projectiles at enemies, open locked doors and shield Europa from ranged attacks.
Enhance your battle prowess by acquiring elemental armors. Master the might of lightning, water, earth and fire to defeat a vast assortment of enemies.
Use the elements to your advantage to travel the map dynamically, surprise bosses while you change armors on the fly and perform strong combos. Obtain special abilities to swim against waterfalls, travel underground tunnels or glide through warm air currents to access hidden locations and uncover their secrets.
Meet enigmatic composers that will aid you in your mission. With the special appearance of Michiru Yamane and Norihiko Hibino, both as NPCs and composers of several tracks tuned to 432hz, a soothing frequency used in what’s known as healing music. And there is more to music than meets the eye. Hidden bosses with musical attack patterns lurk in the shadows ready to strike. In fact, music is the binding thread that brings gameplay and storytelling together; from collecting musical notes, to performing a healing lullaby to restore your health, music is all but the soul of the game.
I think this game is awesome, and very different from other metroidvania style games.. I would really recommend this to anyone. The game mechanics are really cool and fun. The bosses are a bit challenging at times but not rip out your own hair challenging. Would love to tell you more but i don't want to spoil anything.. I gone in blind and really enjoyed discovering this gem of a game
I am not into metroidvanias that much, but when I started playing this game I was captivated mainly because of the aesthetic, the mix of pixel art and manga/anime style is pleasing to my eye.
The controls are easy to follow and I find them to have a good balance between complexity and easy to learn.
I am missing a 5 star only because I found that the design was the weaker part perhaps of this game, but that doesn't mean is bad, is just that is not as good as the art and the music.
Main character is about the most badass female protagonist I've ever seen. Not gonna lie, I wanted to play it mostly because she uses a halberd and how often is the main weapon a halberd? How many games even give you the option?!
Difficult is smooth, mellow. Bits are challenging, but overall it's not punishing and the controls are VERY tight. When I die, I feel like it's my own fault. Hats off to the developer. You made a good game that's fun and has an interesting story with BEAUTIFUL pixel art. You get 5 gold stars. Good job.
