Codex Chronicles Demo

Share Collapse

Author Comments

When a rival tribe conspires with demons to obliterate your city, you embark on a vengeful journey. Traverse diverse landscapes, overcome myriad challenges, and remain steadfast in your mission to exact revenge for your kin and comrades, one human or demon adversary at a time.


Limitations in movement and attack are at the core of this game. Discussion with other players is strongly encouraged.


First 3 levels unlocked, so try them all out. I'm aiming for each level to have a unique feel and play different from the ones before it. I plan on adding a lot more to the backgrounds, especially in the first level where all of the bosses of the final build will be featured along with an animation of their attacks. All suggestions and criticisms are welcome.


Controls

  • Movement - WASD or Arrow Keys
  • Jump - Space or C Key
  • Attack - O or Z Key
  • Switch Weapon - P or X Key


Art style heavily inspired by both the Codex Laud and Fejervary-Mayer with some characters pulled right out and brought to life. Font used is called New Wave Aztec. Audio from Universal Sound FX, Ultimate Game Music Collection, and Orcs and Beast SFX Pack. Original melodies not included in demo but I'm looking to include them later with authentic American instruments.

This is great, nice work!

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Cool!

LawrenceP responds:

thank you

Visuals are pretty good, and gameplay's alright too, but the controls massively bring this down.

Space to jump and O/P to use weapons is seriously awkward, whether you're a rightie or a leftie.

You want my recommendation, move jump to the up arrow/W, and allow the player to use Z/X for weaponry.

LawrenceP responds:

thanks for the feedback. I added Z and X for attack and weapon switch. I can't use W or the Up arrow to jump because there are climbable things, such as ladders in this demo, and you use those keys to go up .
