VampireBlaze

VampireBlaze is a retro-style action platformer built around precise controls and skill-based combat. You play as a demon-killing assassin sent by the Temple Order to destroy a demon lord.

Story

An ancient castle in a remote Eastern European village once held a sealed demon. When the seal breaks, demons pour out and attack nearby villages, prompting the people to seek help from the Temple Order. You fight through more than 10 stages, or take an alternate route, on your way to the demon lord.

Characters

The assassin is a professional dispatched by the knight order, skilled with multiple weapons, including hand-to-hand combat, knives and crossbows. A woman who lives near the village has an aggressive, classical fighting style, but weaker defensive ability.

Combat and exploration

You can walk, guard or dodge, attack and jump. Depending on your equipped weapon, the guard action either blocks enemy projectiles that glow red or lets you dodge; guarding consumes the Guard Gauge. Normal attacks work from a neutral state, while pressing up with attack performs a weapon-throwing special attack that consumes Crystals. Some weapons also allow a downward attack while jumping.

Hidden throughout the stages are six demonic orbs called “vampireblaze.” Easy Mode prevents knockback from enemy attacks and lets you recover Life by pressing E.
