Vagrant Strider

Retro Side Scroller Action RPG. Redefined!

The monster is vanquished, but not before casting a curse that threatens to destroy the world. Embark on a quest of multiple lifetimes, explore the vast unknown, and learn the secrets of time, in order to save existence. Reverse the curse, before it gets worse.

Features:

• Explore vast 2D worlds, filled with rich interactive environments.
• Retro-style hand drawn pixel art and animation (with a modern twist).
• Original soundtrack featuring classical, metal, synthwave, chiptune, and more!
• Dynamic and responsive gameplay mechanics and world, how you behave effects FATE
• Combat that scales difficulty with your level, but will always satisfy and challenge without overtaxing.
• Nonlinear progression: How will you find the answer? Heaven, Hell, and Beyond. Not every problem can be solved with a sword or evil cursed arm.
• Hidden Easter eggs (some nods to historic games too), areas, loot, items, and boss fights.
• Huge host of characters both fictional and non-fictional.
• Witty Satirical Story about the meaning of life, death, and thereafter.

A Solodev Project

Combining much of the old & new school. This is the first official release from Neon Oasis. At this point the game engine build is 88% done. The only thing left is to add all the data and update graphics and music (6-12 months). Depending on initial response (wishlists), a playable demo could be made available, possibly before end of 2023...
