Abstract

This is a story-based 2D Action-Platformer with Hack n Slash and Run & Gun Elements. It is based on the Gameplay Mega Man Games and the character-based Storytelling of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Project Description

Aliens called the Palorans have taken over Earth. 8 Emperors, named after the Planets in the Solar System (and Pluto) rule in a Pseudo-Roman Society. Each of them controls a different Area of the World, and follows their own personal Agenda, transforming their areas to fit their needs. Amongst humanity, a Rebellion arose, led by Human Gladiator Antares and noble Paloran Archer Sagittarius. Both of them disagree in their Methodology and don't get along very well, however, as the story goes on, they learn to trust each other. Together, the two take on the Emperors, learning more about their motives in the Process. In the End, they find that one of Earth's Leaders before the takeover, Tellus, sold Earth to the intruders, saving his Life and Position as Leader
