Any decent developer will maintain patches and updates based on feedback from their communities, but how many update a demo with improvements? Dark Pigeon Games have with AWAKEN: Astral Blade.

Such improvements include the UI interface, difficulty of the game, new combos, optimised animations for the main character, a rebuilt mini-map, and more. But what’s the game about?

A 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania, you take on the role of Tania who is sent to Horace Islands to search for a missing Investigation Force. However, on her travels, she stumbles upon a dark Karpas energy source and the origins of a long-lost civilisation.

Here are the key features in AWAKEN: Astral Blade:

  • Unique Invoke Abilities System to hone combat skills and combos. 
  • Discover shards of memories and information, like echoes of the past, which represent an energy war of a thousand years ago.
  • Parry, Fast-Stand-up and Hyperfocus — these abilities will help Tania in battle and gain control in her encounters.
  • Discover the weak spots of your enemies and deal extra damage when attacking them, sending them in a special feeble status.
  • Customisation is everything so take the time to discover the characteristics and advantages of enhancing your skills. Talents, weapons, abilities and costumes can all be customised to your gameplay style.
