Resurrection of Soul Drain

Resurrection of Soul Drain is an action-adventure 2D platformer with a retro style inspired by the 90s games. Here you play as a minotaur that have to defeat bosses and collect items to gain new powers and access into different areas in order to...save the world?.

The Microsoft Store Version is playable on XBox One!

(Free Trial Available!)

( Title Screen )

OBJETIVES:

You have to close the portal at the beginning of the game, to do that you have to defeat bosses, kill enemies to increase your level and collect seven souls, each soul brings you a new power and with it you can access new areas of the game.

( Soul of Akiyama: This Soul allows you to run faster and break some walls )

( The fist level of the games )

INVENTORY:

This game contains a very simple inventory system where you can use some items and obtain information of each one.

( The empty spaces will be filled when you pick up an item for first time )

ITEMS:

Some items, like the Souls, are for permanent use, but other are consumables. When you pick up a new consumable item, it will appear to be purchased from the Sanctuary.

At the beginning of the game, you only have 2 items: HP Potion that restores all the HP points and the Shield Potion that bring instant use of the shield.

( Around the world you can pick up some coins to buy items at the market in the Sanctuary )

GAME  CONTROLS:

Attacks: You have two attack buttons, Weak Attack and Strong Attack.

• The Weak Attack is fast and is useful with enemies that can be killed by one hit.
• If you press the Weak Attack 3 times a bar will fill and you can press the Strong Attack to execute a slower but stronger attack.
• If this bar is not full the Strong Attack will be faster but weaker.

( Strong Attack without the full power bar )

Run: You can run by pressing and hold the Weak Attack button or pressing the Dash button. Once you get the required soul, the Dash button allows you to run faster and break some walls when the player is blending between colors.

( Dash with the Soul of Akiyama )

Jump: At the beginning of the game you have a regular jump, but later in the game you get a soul to perform a double jump.

( Double Jump )

Block: When you press the Block and hold button, a health bar appears, this bar will decrease at each enemy hit, If the bar is empty, you will lose this ability until the bar fills up again.

( Is not necessary to face the direction of the attack when you are blocking but the bar will be reduced anyway )

Shield: When you press the Shield button a spell appears around the minotaur, this allows you to run without taking any damage of the enemy attacks, it is useful when you are surrounded. The downside of this is that protects you for a short time and you have to wait to use it again.

( The Shield is active and the enemy attacks don't hurt the minotaur on idle animation )

SAVE SYSTEM:

You can save your progress at the sanctuary, be sure to save your game before exiting, this game doesn't have auto save system.

Every time you continue the game from the main menu, some items will respawn (consumables and coins) and you will have to activate all the platforms again.

A special thanks to the artists who made this game possible, without them and my limited time to program this game wouldn't be possible. I'm sorry if I forget to mention someone else.
