Short list of updates

1. Combat System Enhancements:

- New Abilities: Characters now have new abilities from the beginning of the game to diversify combat.

 - Swordsman now has the Stagger Attack - a lunging strike that stuns enemies in front of you. Stunned enemies take double damage from your regular attacks.

 - Archer's Rebound Attack - allows you to leap backward while firing an arrow, creating a short-lived decoy that absorbs enemy attacks.

- Empowered Special Attacks: Each character now has a gauge to enhance special attacks, which fills by meeting certain conditions.
 

2. Improved Guide System:

- No more excuses for not learning the controls! A handy guide is now available in the pause menu, providing a clear overview of the basic gameplay mechanics.
 

3. Enhanced Gameplay Experience:

- Automatic Aiming: The archer now automatically locks onto the nearest enemy, while manual aiming remains available.

- Button Buffer: Attacks, jumps, or dashes are automatically triggered after the previous action, enhancing fluidity in combat.

- Gamepad Vibration: Feel the intensity of the battle with the new gamepad vibration options, which provide subtle feedback for minor damage and stronger pulses for heavy blows or character death.

- Rage Mode Balancing: The rebalanced Rage Mode no longer stuns enemies but features a significantly longer duration and removes the previous penalty for early deactivation.

The demo is available on Steam

Key Features

Co-op Metroidvania

The unusual spin of the genre, turns the classic metroidvania into a fun, couch co-op adventure. Both characters develop differently as the game goes on. Explore the grim locations of the space ark, rescue an ambushed or seriously injured partner. Get challenged by dangerous mutants and build your own boss-fight strategies together with a friend. And the best part is that you can always switch to single player mode if your pal is not around.

A mind-blowing dystopia

The story is set in a highly detailed game world, told in stunning hand-drawn animated cutscenes, and elaborated in dialogs full of irony. Tragic and intriguing fates of the supporting characters will immerse you into the human world of the far future, where moral and ethical issues trouble the mind more than ever. Search for the truth and prepare for incredible twists and turns.

Unique visual style

Through the artistic lens of 80-90 retro sci-fi aesthetics, the game carefully renders a variety of futuristic 2D visuals mixed with the dark cosmic atmosphere.
