This retro-styled action game demonstrates its mechanics through re-creation of an iconic FGC moment!
Indie developer Team Einherjar are working on a new game they call a “technical platformer,” with style and mechanics inspired and derived from classic games like Mega Man and Street Fighter. Dubbed “FictionSphere,” this game–currently a work-in-progress on Steam Greenlight–promises a action/adventure title with gameplay elements from Capcom’s most revered games.
According to Team Einherjar:
FictionSphere is a “Technical Platformer” with a story-driven agenda. Its packed with some of your favorite mechanics from the platforming, hack and slash, and fighting game genres.
We aim to have TWO compelling stories, as well as 2 different styles of gameplay. The protagonist Ratio will have more of a Platformer feel, while Paradox will take more of a Hack-and-Slash route. Both play styles require precision, execution, and timing. This game will be a true testament of your gamer-like reflexes!
To demonstrate these mechanics, the developer decided to pay homage to that string of parries we all know so well:
More gameplay screens, concept art, and information about the developers can be seen on their Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter pages. As the game is still in development and not yet fully funded, no release date is yet confirmed.
