I was given a PS5 code from Press Engine @press_engine Publisher Selecta Play @SelectaPlay Developer Dormidin Studio @DormidinS
This is released in the UK on the 9/9/2026 and in the UK is priced at £12.99.
INTRODUCTION
A classic hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania action game, it’s time for revenge! Use your Beastmaster skills to unleash your inner beast, fight with your heart-devouring sword and end the threat to Arborea, you decide the ending.
FEATURES
- You are the last of the Beastmaster, use the souls of animals/creatures to transform and progress in the adventure.
- A continuous Metroidvania-style map, open new paths or unlock new routes with your Beastmaster abilities, evil and sorcery lurks in all corners.
- Gather beads for your ritual necklace: you will get fangs, amulets, and plant roots that will change your attacks, vitality, or Mana.
- Enter into a duel in the different Arenas the battle will be with a close camera and energy bars like in the classic fighting games. In the Arena you can enhance your skills and get unique items.
- Find new sword techniques that your old Sensei taught you, use magic potions or summons curses. Thanks to your sword, you can get the power of a god.
- Throughout your adventure you will find many NPCs (Non-Playing Characters) that will give more strength to the narrative of the story, dealing with them will open the possibility of knowing new missions, arcs (as in an Anime series) and complete different endings.
