EDIT: I'm updating this first post since TA kindly featured the game. Thanks you TouchArcade. We are now in the process of creating an epic platformer RPG with a new hero based in a flash point and click adventure game. Belial - a 2d Action Platformer Metroidvania RPG Set in the Deepest of Hell The game will follow a similar gameplay of Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow but with more to offer. Before the story, I will tell you about the main character and how you will control him. You will play as Belial, half human half demon. Literally. Please like our page to learn more. https://www.facebook.com/belialgame We are planning on 9 areas to explore plus a new area outside of Hell. Here are some of them.
How come i never saw this til today? This might be the metroidvania we are looking for all these years. It's still early in development according to their facebook page, but it's already looking pretty wicked!
This looks good. Hope the controls are decent and theres a lot of levels and its not freemium ! Is this the one we're looking for ?
I haven't updated this thread in TA! I'm editing the first post to show what has been under development so far.
Hell, I'm interested, but if it wants to be the SOTN wannabe, it must have the awe-inducing backgrounds.
Thank you! Yes we do plan to give you awesome views of themed areas of Hell. We will also incorporate 3d and 2d for the backgrounds to show depth.
This looks very promising but it always seems condemning for a game to market itself as being like some other game; the last thing iOS gaming needs is more generic clones. I want to like this but I'll have to see more that makes it stand out from the crowd.
I can't put my finger on it, but the running animation does not look quite right to me. I like what you having going there with the jump cape movement and those background shots are really atmospheric. Thanks
@Keybol I saw SOTN, i was like "oh my god, they did it" So, from what i saw. It's really good. And as someone said previously, need better background. This is my big advice : change the music (from the video i saw) Catslevania, it's catchy and very dark music. Try to mix those two. You'll have a good ost and this game will be a total success. Hope also it's not a "pay to win" game. But keep in mind that you have my money. And day one
Thank you! The video is very different from what we are planning to release. That setting is in Limbo. in the final game the setting will be in Hell so expect darker music and vivid themed areas. The game wont be a pay to win game that's for sure
Here are samples of the new soundtrack http://soundcloud.com/dualist-make-music/belial-art-of-the-devil-teaser-music https://soundcloud.com/dualist-make-music/leviathan-theme-arcana-version-teaser
Ok now you have my money and my gratitude. I'll talk about your game around me 1st : Very Castlevaniaish 2nd one : very Shin Megami Tenseish <3 What's your reference for this besides Castlevania series ?
For the designs we're looking at King of Fighters and Devil May Cry. For gameplay we look at RPGs that we love and incorporate elements like skill trees and summons that level up(called Legions in Belial). These skills you've chosen combined with your choice of weapon (short sword, heavy sword, spear) you can make your own build of Belial as a tank, summoner or fighter.
