King Erik

King Erik is a medieval 2D side-scrolling platformer in which you play as a young king fighting Saxon forces across the fortresses of Eromott. After Duke Lukion of Warchester conquers much of the kingdom, Erik sets out alone to defeat his uncle’s armies and reclaim his throne with the Scepter of Might.

Story

At 16, Erik inherits the throne of Eromott from his father, King Erold. Erold’s brother, Duke Lukion, objects to his young nephew becoming king and asks to serve as regent until Erik turns 18, but the regent council refuses. Lukion gathers an army of 10,000 men, mostly Saxons, and invades. Two years later, he has conquered most of Eromott and defeated most of Erik’s armies.

One night, a mysterious old man appears in Erik’s chambers and gives him a golden scepter crowned with a large ruby. The man says it holds the souls of Erik’s ancestors and can only be used at night. Erik takes the weapon and sets out to defeat Lukion’s forces and restore peace.

Fight through the fortresses

You control Erik in one-on-one combat as you jump, climb, drop and shimmy through 15 fortress levels. The levels contain enemies, loot, contraptions and obstacles, and Erik faces Duke Lukion throughout his journey. Collect the souls of defeated enemies in the scepter and unleash them in a devastating blow.

Combat uses attacks, blocks and the scepter’s power. The game has seven enemy types that become progressively harder, along with an enchantment system where you can buy healing, extra lives, extra hit points and scepter infusions.
