Story-driven side-scrolling action RPG Mandragora announced for Switch
Original: Publisher Marvelous Europe and developer Primal Game Studio today announced Mandragora, a story-driven side-scrolling action RPG set in a universe of gorgeous paint strokes and inevitable tragedy. The project is in development for Switch and other platforms.
Here’s an overview with further information:
In Mandragora, mankind has surrendered the world to the monsters. People hide away behind walls of brick and palisades of ignorance, constructed by their leaders. Joy and delight are coveted jewels, out of reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and take it back.
Journey through a world in decline, slowly falling prey to the damaging effects of Entropy. Fight against vicious enemies, challenge unique, deadly bosses, meet new allies, enemies, and every shade in-between, and make harsh moral choices. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours.
Key Features
▪ Explore a universe of gorgeous paint strokes: Immerse yourself in a rich, dark, painterly 2.5D world as the epic and twisted music composed by Christos Antoniou brings this atmospheric world to life.
