Description

Civilization has ended, and something else awakens in its place. From the world’s decay, ancient creatures stir, rise, and roam the land.

 

Vessels of Decay is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure following the story of Freja and Mud. In this retro-inspired tale, you’ll confront creatures of Scandinavian myth and folklore and explore the ruins of the civilization they inhabit.

 

In a desperate attempt to resurrect their mother, siblings Mud and Freja lose themself in search of the creatures controlling life and death, the Vessels of Decay.

 

Embody Mud and Freja as they fight toward the center of the magic corrupting the world. Fight creatures of Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore, defeat bosses in epic showdowns, and unlock new skills to fit your fighting style.

 

Features:

 

  • Dynamic Battle System: How you execute combat – and how your enemies perish – is entirely up to you!
  • Unique Finishers: Every new enemy is a new opportunity for you to show your flair for combat; stagger your foes to set them up for (literally) killer animations and flourishes.

 

 

  • Epic Multi-Stage Boss Encounters: The beasts of Scandinavian folklore will not let themselves be put down so easily, and you’ll have to use your wits and reflexes to pursue and slay them! 
  • Explore A Beautiful World of Pixels, Death, and Decay: Vessels of Decay is a completely handcrafted world, with care and thought poured into each and every scene, story beat, and environment. 
  • A Scandinavian Take on Classic Action-Adventure: The battered ruins of a once-modern society clash with the renewed growth of nature – and of the supernatural. Explore a uniquely Scandinavian setting through a mix of reflective melancholy, exploration, and fast-paced action.

Vessels of Decay will feauture mild violence, blood, and depictions of death.

hope it's still in development

Dear Devs, Good things first: I like the pixel art style! The game has a lot of potential Bad things: Buggy - sometimes when the camera should move to the next area the character is suddenly outside of the playable area. Also, the companion seems to be able to float across abysses when she follows the main character. Jumping: it does not make sense to not be able to jump over small objects. Stamina: attacking does not consume stamina which seems strange. Similar to jumping - can jump around like a frog - no stamina consumption. A more realistic stamina consumption would be nice. Leveling: the attack speed upgrade and attack damage upgrade can be more costly imho. Animation/sprites: the character can walk up but not run - it is always just the diagonal running animation. This looks very odd. Bosses: due to the lag in sprinting (might just be my buggy controller) some bosses like the giant boar are very difficult - and the hitbox is not really clear. Too much healing items that sometimes cannot be used at all scattered across the map. Enemies: endless slime coming out of the gutter? Idk man... Also, based on my experience from Rogue Heros - Ruins of Thrasos, there should be an incentive to destroy/hack away objects/plants. Like occational experience drops or health drops Please improve these things! The game has potential but currently it feels like alpha or an early beta.
