Touhou Luna Nights developer Team Ladybug is proud to bring you the globally revered classic of Japanese fantasy said to have single-handedly launched the "elf-shaped ears" trope, Record of Lodoss War in 2D action game form!
Featuring "Deedlit" - beloved heroine and symbol of Record of Lodoss War - this latest installment fills in the gaps from the most recent novel in the series released in August 2019.
"Deedlit awakens in a strange, unknown place. As she explores her surroundings, she encounters ""Ghim"" and more of her old friends. Where is this place? Receiving help from spirits including ""Sylph"" and ""Salamander"", Deedlit wanders this mysterious new world in search of answers...
The Wonderous Spirit of the Novel Captured in 2D Action Form!
The game features both the beautiful 2D pixel artwork for which Team Ladybug is known as well as a unique Record of Lodoss War-based game system.
Harness the Power of the Spirits to Battle Through Each Stage
You'll need to take advantage of the powers possessed by the various spirits assisting Deedlit in her quest in order to make it through each stage. When using Sylph, Deedlit becomes less vulnerable against wind and gains the ability to hover, allowing her to access certain areas. You must learn to use these powers wisely.
Master Myriad Types of Weaponry
Pick up and brandish the various weapons dropped by enemies, such as swords, knives, spears, and more. Learn to use each weapon according to its strengths: powerful swords are best for close-range melee attacks, while arrows can be used for ranged assaults, etc. Of course, you can also sell these weapons off as well. Apart from attacking, there are also certain gimmicks which you'll need arrows to overcome. Part of the fun lies in cycling through the different weapons to find the one best suited for the situation.
Coming to Steam Early Access on March 13th!
