About This Game

Dark Adelita is a high-intensity, pixel-art action platformer set in post-revolutionary Mexico. Dodge deadly traps, outgun relentless enemies, and battle nightmarish bosses pulled straight from Mexican legends.

  • Tactical Side-Scrolling Combat: Run, jump, and shoot through fast-paced stages filled with hazards and enemy ambushes.

  • Boss Battles Based on Mexican Folklore: Confront terrifying creatures inspired by legends like  La Llorona or El Charro.

  • Region-Based Level Design: Explore stages modeled after real Mexican states like Yucatán, Jalisco, and Sonora, each with unique themes and challenges.

  • Pixel-Perfect Presentation: Crisp retro visuals meet rich folkloric designs in handcrafted environments.

Every level in Dark Adelita is a gauntlet of danger and dread. You’ll advance through side-scrolling stages teeming with enemies, dodging deadly attacks and environmental hazards as you make your way toward the ultimate confrontation, a brutal boss fight drawn from Mexican legend.

Each level presents:

  • Relentless combat encounters that push your reflexes to the limit.

  • A varied arsenal of weapons and special abilities to counter increasingly complex threats.

  • A culminating battle against a mythic creature, designed as a test of both precision and perseverance.

The deeper Angela descends into this haunted world, the more the atmosphere thickens with unease. The roads are shrouded in darkness. Whispers rise from the soil. Wails ride the wind. Dancing shadows slither at the edge of your vision.

Every creature she faces isn’t just a physical threat, they aim to break her spirit. Each battle chips away at the boundary between reality and nightmare. Only through a mix of courage, cunning, and firepower can Angela survive.

This is a war not just for survival, but for soul and sanity.

In the ashes of the Mexican Revolution, a new terror rises. Legends once whispered around campfires now walk the earth—twisted, vengeful, and hungry.

You play as Angela, a fearless Adelita who takes up arms once again—this time against something far more sinister. Born of pain, fear, and forgotten tales, monstrous legends stalk the land. As Angela, you must travel across a fractured Mexico, battling nightmares made flesh to restore peace and hope.

The road is haunted. The shadows whisper. And the legends… want your soul.

Dark Adelita is more than a retro shooter—it’s a love letter to Mexican history and folklore. By blending real revolutionary history with folkloric horror, the game offers an intense action experience that also celebrates the strength and spirit of its culture.
