Riptale, a gory 2D sword-waving-game Greenlit on Steam

Riptale is a 2D action game aiming to make sword combat be as bloody and impactful as possible. The player collects gems that allow them to execute different attacks in the order of their choosing. All this results in a symphony of combos that fill the screen with blood and guts. If Riptale was a board game it would shoot scissors at you.

Instead of erratic hacking of the attack button the player must instead first aim at their target and then strike. The attacks are powered by arcane gems which make them powerful enough to bring down the ancient dragons threatening the world.

Each gem takes a few moments to recharge, which means the attacks must be planned carefully lest they run out at the worst possible moment. It all sounds sweet and has this retro, GameBoy like look and feel.

Riptale was Greenlit on Steam in 14th of February and is planned for a release in the next few months. Riptale’s Steam Greenlight page: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=851630714
