SOULRITE
SOULRITE: a story-driven RPG from the villain’s perspective! Explore a sprawling, unique world, contend with fast-paced gameplay and discover what lies between the twilight of good and evil.
SOULRITE: the RPG where you play as the villain! Thrust into the middle of a conflict between the gods of light and shadow, you take on the role of the night goddess' devoted dread necromancer. Master fast-paced RPG combat as you utilize dark magic to reap the souls of your foes, in a dramatic tale full of twists, humor and at least two annoying puzzles.
Ancient magic is abundant, yet dormant. The gods of old have vanished, and now seemingly only two remain. As the malevolent harbinger of the nightmare-fuelled Mother of Night, you reap the souls of the unworthy and conquer kingdoms in her profaned name. However, a chance encounter leads you to question the goddess' true motives... resulting in you being sealed away for two centuries.
When you awaken, the world has changed immeasurably, and your surroundings are entirely alien and unknown to you: dark pillars tower high, and in the distance, a mystical shrine thrums quietly. Could this be the beginning of a grand adventure, or a chance to renew your dark pact and finally drown the world in night eternal?
Enter a sprawling world of magic, mystery and peculiar characters!
A Vast World: Explore the vibrant lands of SOULRITE, from Harvestwood, the forest of perpetual autumn, to Mistvale, the sinister and gloomy domain of the living dead.
Choices (Usually) Matter: Exploit your dark and dubious powers and leave havoc in your wake, or just be a decent person. The choice is yours!
An RPG... And A Lot More: Turn-based combat and intense bullet hell gameplay blends strategy and action. Solve puzzles, discover lore and embark on an epic quest where playing the role of hero is optional.
Make Friends (Or Foes): Meet all manner of unique characters: some humorous, some serious, some dubious. Tear out the souls of those who displease you or voluntarily subject yourself to their life stories and anecdotes.
And...
Encounter several talking and oftentimes annoying plants.
Meet clueless companions that voluntarily aid an evil necromancer.
Various magical sticks to acquire.
Slay your enemies, evade countless projectiles and master dark arcana!
Unique And Unusual Encounters: In SOULRITE, no two foes are the same. Each new enemy comes with its own mechanics, hazards and attack patterns, keeping combat fresh (and the threat of imminent death high).
Recall Forbidden Magic: From the life-stealing vampiric siphon to the shimmering mystical armor spell, there seems to be no limit to how far your dark powers will reach. Master necromancy and the occult or be driven mad in the attempt.
Items, Gear Galore: Collect the classic staples of RPGs such as healing and mana potions, to more bizarre trinkets and baubles like talismans that allow for underwater breathing, vigor-leeching blades and magic-imbued staves.
Devious Bosses And Deadly Mechanics: Surviving reality-shattering magic and steering a ship while dodging cannon fire are just a few examples of what you'll have to do to defeat the cunning and callous bosses of SOULRITE!
