Oblivion Eve

“Oblivion Eve” is a captivating roguelike action-platformer, blending intricate gameplay with the relentless challenge of navigating a constantly evolving prison. Designed for the Pico-8, this game invites players into a meticulously crafted world where strategy, skill, and a penchant for destruction pave the way to victory.

Gameplay Overview:

As you delve into the depths of the shifting prison, be prepared for a new adventure every time. The prison itself is a labyrinth of randomized rooms, with no map to aid your navigation. It’s an environment that seems almost sentient, actively working against you by altering its layout, forcing you to retrace your steps, and placing formidable enemies in your path to thwart your progress.

At the core of this prison lies an enchained titan, a formidable adversary whose liberation is your ultimate goal. Destroying the four gems that bind the titan breaks the chains one by one. Each encounter with the titan requires strategy, skill, and determination as you aim to shatter all four chains, free the titan, and emerge victorious.

The mantra “Always Be Comboing” encapsulates the essence of combat in “Oblivion Eve.” Mastery of combos not only decimates foes but is crucial for survival and progression.

Advanced Overview:

The arsenal at your disposal in “Oblivion Eve” includes five distinct weapons, each boasting unique movesets and attack properties. As you navigate through the prison, you’ll have opportunities to enhance your weaponry through upgrades that affect various attributes:

• Size: Increase the size of your weapon for easier hits against enemies.
• Damage: Boost the damage your weapon inflicts to swiftly deplete enemy HP.
• Meter Gain: Enhance the meter gained with each hit, propelling you into more powerful forms and unlocking devastating ultimate attacks.
• Duration: Extend the duration of your attacks, allowing for longer swings and further-reaching stabs.
• Recharge Rate: Decrease the cooldown period between attacks, enabling quicker follow-up strikes.

These upgrades allow for a highly customizable combat experience, enabling players to tailor their playstyle to suit their strategy and preferences. Whether focusing on brute strength, agility, or a balanced approach, the way you upgrade your weapons can significantly impact your journey through the prison.
