Description
About This Game
A Metroidvania of Power, Strategy, and Tragedy
Awaken as Arson, a resurrected war machine caught between the past and an uncertain future. Built from the remains of three legendary combat units, you wield their fragmented power in a world ravaged by demons, mutants, and forgotten ghosts of war. Your choices will define the fate of this world—will you carve a path of freedom, chaos, or indifference?
FORM-SHIFTING COMBAT
Switch seamlessly between three distinct combat forms:
Summoner – A tactical controller who commands minions to fight in your stead.
Frenzy – A relentless melee brawler with high-speed attacks and brutal finishers.
Golem – A walking fortress armed with devastating heavy weapons.
Master each form’s unique movement abilities, weapons, and ultimate attacks, and discover devastating Overload Combos by chaining abilities together.
A WORLD SHAPED BY CHOICE
--> add scrolling terrain gif here (a collage of several stage environments) <--
Your journey takes you through seven massive, interconnected stages, each representing a layer of hell and a stage of grief. Every faction you encounter—the demonic legions, the ghoulish survivors, the biomechanical robots, and the remnants of an extinct humanity—has its own motivations and secrets. Will you fight for them, against them, or leave them to their fate?
EVOLVING ENEMIES, BRUTAL CHALLENGES
-->add a gif of an enemy elite, or some status effect/ability action here<--
Enemies adapt to your tactics—armored behemoths resist stagger, mutants swarm in packs, and corrupted machines counter your every move. Status effects like burn, freeze, shock, and irradiation alter their behavior and can chain between foes, turning the tide of battle in your favor.
DISCOVER THE TRUTH, OR DESTROY IT
--> add boss fight or some cryptic gif example here <--
Arson’s past is buried in the wreckage of war, but the deeper you go, the more the truth reveals itself. Who were you before your resurrection? What price must be paid to reclaim what was lost?
Will you embrace your humanity—or burn the world to the ground?
