Brighter Days

Brighter Days takes place in the Scarred Lands, a hand-crafted world of ruined landscapes where futuristic technology exists alongside a medieval-like age. You explore by unlocking areas and platforming between locations, finding items and uncovering the world's secrets.

The Scarred Lands

The land was lost to war and left in ruins. Lord Abaddon of the Saurian Empire seeks revenge on the people of the world for doing nothing while the Saurians starved in their icy prison. He took control of all the lands beneath the Ivory Towers, but the conflict has reached a stalemate. Fighting has largely ceased, and starvation and disease have wiped out most of those who survived the initial battles. Lord Abaddon hopes to lead his people to a new paradise, and his followers continue fighting and killing those in their way.

Combat

You fight enemies with swords, dodges and parries. Parrying breaks an enemy's stance, leaving it open to a heavy attack, but attacks that are too powerful to parry must be dodged. Each sword has a distinct weapon art that deals high damage or provides a buff, supporting different builds.

Upgrades

You collect voltage from defeated enemies and voltage items found throughout the Scarred Lands. Spend it to improve attributes and increase your strength and damage. Weapons can also be upgraded when you find the required materials.
