About the Game: 

I created DarkCrown as a study project, and it was my very first game. I am trying to make a small Metroidvania that is both challenging and fun, by adding more intensity to the exploration and combat aspects of the game.


( The game is still in development, expect some bugs )

The story: 

In DarkCrown, you play as a mercenary bound by a dangerous contract. Gifted with a forbidden power, you absorb the essence of fallen enemies and grow stronger with each battle. Your target is a fallen King who was once noble, now corrupted by his endless hunger for power. His cursed castle stands as the source of this decay. To claim the bounty, you must venture into its depths, where ancient secrets and relentless horrors await.


Features: 

4 handcrafted boss fights

Interconnected castle map with exploration-focused level design

Dark fantasy atmosphere and environmental storytelling

Keyboard and controller support

Estimated playtime: 40 minutes – 1 hour (depending on playstyle)

I haven't even played the game yet and holy christ that moon looks beautiful.

Tks, new update just been released, you should try it out

I will be playing this live tomorrow 11/9 around 1-130 PM EST =).

Tks, hope you enjoy the game

That is good one project. Nice Job.

Tks! Happy to hear that :)

i'm quite impressed with the game, i suggest some improvement on the sword attack, i felt like the first sword swing is to fast to transition back to normal, i think it need delay before the player press the attack again.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take note

It's so good, bro! For a newbie, your work on the shader and light is so impressive!

Tks, enjoy the game!

For a study project it's quite polished imo

tks
