More info -> LINK Visit this campaign on Kickstarter and find out about Backer unique rewards and Stretch Goals! Like it? Hate it? We want to know your opinion! The community is a very important element for us and we want to hear you out! Leave a comment with your opinion and feedback!! Necrocosmos is our project. An exploration and investigation game, full Metroidvania style with 8-bit aesthetics and inspired by the great classics of the genre. Combining story and playability in an open galaxy universe, this is a hardcore experience that you can only overcome by combining the DNA of your enemies in the DNA-Gun. Do you dare to uncover the dark secret of Necrocosmos? In Necrocosmos, you will be able to travel to the ends of the universe and explore unknown, unravel hidden mysteries, and fight against threats that you would have never imagined! The Galaxy Investigation Every player will start in a different star map and will be able to explore it freely. This way, every player will have a different game experience. Also, you will have to study different stars and comets in Andromeda, and search for planets that you can visit to make progress in your investigation. Planets are not procedurally generated. They are all designed with care and attention so that every planet feels refreshing and surprising. Plus, planet distribution in the galaxy is randomized. This means that, while every player will start in the same planet, the neighbor planets will be completely different each time. You will live your own unique adventure, all while keeping the essence of a game made by people! Star Travels With the help of your spaceship, ATILA-1, you will travel through Andromeda, defending yourself against the multiple threats that will hinder your journey. There will be destinations and routes that may be too dangerous, but don’t worry! You can upgrade your spaceship to overcome even the worst threats! The duration and difficulty of spaceship stages will depend on the length of the journey and the type of areas you are traveling through. These areas will be generated based on events that will be procedurally ordered and are also designed to follow intelligent patterns, so every journey will be not only different, but also challenging for the mind like old school games. On top of that, journeys can be interrupted by pirates, meteorites, unidentified objects or very powerful bosses! Planetary Investigation & Diaries Once you find a planet that you can access, you will be able to explore it in the most genuine Metroidvania style. Explore the planet freely, break secret walls to find hidden secrets, investigate old diaries and, of course, survive the dreadful alien life forms! Each planet is designed with care and attention, each planet has its own auto conclusive plot and lore, and at same time is related to the global plot of Necrocosmos. Meaning that you can understand and enjoy the game in whatever order you choose to explore the planets.. Do you want to know why that room had blood splatters all over it? Who’s that oddly-named boss? Why did the scientists commit suicide? All that information is waiting for you to uncover it! Puzzles Necrocosmos is full of challenges that will put your brain to the test. The game gives you dozens of old school style puzzles to solve, such as code-locked doors that you will have to open by researching lost documents, secrets written in alien languages that you will have to decipher, ancient mechanisms that you will only be able to activate by shooting a specific kind of shot, or even abandoned spaceships that you will have to compress or decompress to regulate gravity. Are you ready to put your intelligence to the test? Planetary Exploration The game has a level design reminiscent of the classic Metroidvania games, with hidden rooms and destructible walls, and the individual planets have also been designed to be fun and quick to explore. You will have to avoid spike-filled areas using your Jetpack, crawl inside ventilation conduits, tread cautiously through ground areas that can fall under your feet, and face hundreds of enemies that have been specifically designed to test your skills using the DNA-Gun and the Jetpack! Explore the different planets while collecting resources to improve and enhance your equipment, discover the hidden secrets, and find the many lost diaries scattered on each planet! DNA-Gun The most powerful weapon of the galaxy, the DNA-Gun, is now in your hands! Use your trusty DNA-Gun to collect and fuse the DNA of your enemies, creating new and powerful shots. For example, you can combine DNA-Blue and DNA-Blue to create a shot capable of freezing water, allowing you to walk on it. There are dozens of different combinations and every new shot has unique properties that will help you to advance in your adventure, exterm...
