—Explore a dangerous fantasy world in this epic quest for redemption inspired by the 'kill the player' approach of the Souls games. And if you feel this type of game is to hard for you, you can make the game easier by completing sidequests and spending the money earned on items in shops.
A brutal side-scrolling action RPG rooted in retro arcade challenge.
Three years ago, Mirenia unleashed an ancient evil that plunged the land into chaos. Now 18, she journeys to Tirkin Fortress, determined to seal the dark power she set free and redeem herself for the destruction left in her wake. Villages lie in ruin. The dead walk. Monsters ravage the land. Only by surviving the horrors ahead can Mirenia hope to right her past mistakes. Armed with her trusted Shield Blade, Mirenia is close of undoing the mistakes of her past. Will she succeed or ultimately only make matters worse?

The Skylia Prophecy is a linear, story-driven 2D action RPG inspired by classic side-scrollers of the 8- and 16-bit eras. Exploration exists, but progression is mostly forward, without much backtracking. You’ll fight your way through hand-crafted areas, conquer punishing bosses, and uncover secrets that reward careful players.
--------------------------
This is not a Metroidvania. While you’ll revisit towns and find hidden areas, progression is mostly linear. This is a focused, retro-style RPG experience with modern influences; built to challenge and reward the old-school gamer.
Please read the instruction manual if you require assistance.
If you buy this game, you get the game "The Masked Mage" for free.

Controller Information:
Due to limitations with the engine, some controllers may not work properly. There is, unfortunately, nothing I can do about that. Should you have any trouble with your gamepad, maybe try another gamepad or use the keyboard. I apologize for the inconvenience.
