Dark Adelita

Dark Adelita is a pixel-art action platformer set in post-revolutionary Mexico. You play as Angela, an Adelita who takes up arms against monstrous figures from Mexican legends and travels across a fractured country to restore peace and hope.

Story and world

In the ashes of the Mexican Revolution, creatures born of pain, fear and forgotten tales stalk the land. Angela’s journey takes her through a haunted world where roads lie in darkness, whispers rise from the soil and wails ride the wind. The creatures threaten not only her life but also her spirit, blurring the boundary between reality and nightmare.

The stages draw on real Mexican states, including Yucatán, Jalisco and Sonora. Each has its own themes and challenges, with handcrafted pixel-art environments combining revolutionary history and Mexican folklore.

Fight through each stage

You run, jump and shoot through side-scrolling stages filled with hazards, enemy ambushes and relentless combat encounters. A varied arsenal of weapons and special abilities lets you counter increasingly complex threats as you advance toward each level’s culminating boss battle.

The bosses are terrifying creatures inspired by Mexican folklore, including La Llorona and El Charro. These battles test precision and perseverance as Angela fights to survive with courage, cunning and firepower.
