Nova Slash

Nova Slash is an action-platforming game with roguelike elements. You play as Veil, a former militia leader seeking retribution against Giaath’s regime after its artificial star collapses.

Story

In the tyrannical mega-country of Giaath, the government seeks cosmic supremacy by harvesting stellar remnants to build an artificial star. It uses political prisoners as test subjects for cosmic-scale weaponry. Noven, a militia leader sentenced to life for defying the regime, survives when a lab failure causes the star to collapse and vaporize everything for miles. He absorbs its dying cosmic radiation and emerges from the fallout as Veil, armed with stellar power and determined to take revenge.

Combat and runs

As Veil, you use quick slashes, evasions and energy-infused strikes against Giaath’s military forces. You navigate dangerous vertical environments, adapt to shifting run mechanics and combine abilities into powerful synergies to overcome heavily armed defenses. Combat augments let you experiment across runs.

Districts and bosses

You face five unique districts in Giaath and fight deadly bosses. The game also features responsive controls tuned for fast execution during skirmishes and boss encounters.
