Tengoku Senso

Version: 0.0.41about 1 month ago

Tengoku Sensō

A 2D-hand animated Stylish Action, platformer set in a fictitious Japan where spirits coexist with humans on a daily basis. When a young Cesara releases and fuses with the sealed god of storm, Susanoō she also inherits the power of a god.

In order to return to her normal life, she must, as one with the jealous Lord Susanō defeat his sister, Amaterasu-Ōmikami.


She made a deal with a god. Now she’s ready to kill one.

Trapped in a forgotten realm ruled by ancient Shinto gods, take control in this fast-paced, skill-driven hack and slash adventure steeped in rich Japanese mythology.

Master a precision-based combat system where timing, mastery, and raw fury is your only salvation. Chain stylish combos to take down god-forged guardians, and challenge the heavens themselves.

Features:

  • Fast, fluid combat with deep mastery potential

  • Intense boss battles rooted in Japanese folklore

  • A gripping story of identity, power, and rebellion

  • Traditionally hand-animated 2D art

The gods want a war; so bring it to them.


Design Philosophy

When playing an action game, often times the character(s) you control can gain many new abilities to the point where you can't use them all without pausing the game, then going into the menu to swap out your current one with a new one.

Using the system pioneered by the Devil May Cry series you won't have to.

Anytime a new weapon / spell / ability is acquired it will remain accessible to you anytime in or out of combat without breaking pace by going into the menu.

Among all the melee weapons, scroll elements and alternate fighting style exclusive abilities you will have a command list with over 100 entries.

Every command has its own advantages and disadvantages such as:

  • Speed of Start-Up animation

  • Duration of Recovery animation

  • Vertical/Horizontal reach of attack

  • Duration of active frames of a attack

  • Enemy Knockback distance

  • Stun duration (how long it takes for an enemy to recover from an attack)

  • Accessibility (whether it can be used only on the ground, air or both)

  • Utility (Special properties such as: status effects, knockback, launch, push/pull, ground-bounce/wall-bounce/hard knock-down for combo extensions)

  • Mob potency (how many enemies an attack can hit at once)

  • Elemental Affinity (which can be stronger/weaker against enemies)

Player expression is of utmost importance and the only way to achieve that is to give the player options, a LOT of options; such that the only limiting factor becomes your own imagination.

With so much combat tools it is also important that you are able to navigate to the right tools at the right time with ease.

This game utilizes more buttons than men's formal office attire but controls are customizable for both keyboard and controller to suit user's preferences.
