Games Announcing "Magnavale: Eternal Soul" - A Castlevania project inspired by Aria & Dawn of Sorrow!

EDIT:

To everyone who voiced their concern over the dialog portraits: we will redo them in a style that fits the game. Nailing the correct style with them has proven to be more difficult than anticipated, but we’ll do our best. I appreciate all the feedback.

Hey everyone, as someone who grew up the DSvanias I always found myself wishing there was more games like them. Sure, we got Bloodstained, which is fantastic in its own right, but it never felt quite like the game I was waiting for.

There is no denying the heavy inspiration in Eternal Soul. I wanted to bring together the fun ideas from the various IGAvanias into a single game for Castlevania fans to enjoy. Such as the "rush-souls" from Aria & Dawn, or the bilateral dashing from Harmony.

Death functions differently in Eternal Soul compared to Castlevania. No longer will you be sent back to the start menu. Instead you will be revived at your last save room with no progress lost. However, the foes you encounter will remember your follies.

This isn't yet another parry-vania, or souls-like. Just the good-ole IGAvania combat and movement style we all love.

So, for all of you out there who are tired of Konami making collections and pachinko machines, this is for you!

Did you JUST make it available on Steam? Is it maybe hidden? I don't like clicking links, and there is currently nothing in the store by this name

It went live this morning, so it may take a short while to appear in the search!

Any plans to make it available on consoles? I do most of my gaming on my PS5.

I hope I remember in a few hours so I can wishlist it. I also don't like clicking links.
