Pixel art metroidvania Golden Hour is live on Kickstarter!

SAN FRANCISCO - Oct. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Golden hour is a hi-res pixel art RPG platformer/Metroidvania currently in development for PC (other platforms are yet to be confirmed). It's a well balanced mix between a classic action platformer and an exploration-based RPG, taking you on an intense journey involving fighting, exploring, platforming, crafting, spellcasting and numerous other features.

Golden Hour’s world revolves around fate, magic, timeline-play, but concretely – it’s about four people united by a mystical spirit, manipulated to prevent a chain of events that leads to a devastating war and their own personal tragedies.
So, a 2d RPG exploration platformer with standard features – what distincts Golden Hour from the bunch? It’s juiciness. The billion ways to harass enemies, from using  environment, physics, explosions, to destructive spells, with juicy effects and animations, sometimes drive this game closer to Metal Slug than Castlevania.

The tale of four war refugees cooking up a coup d’etat plays out between the four cities/provinces of Kingdom of Heratos, and the procedurally generated biomes, dungeons and treasuries weaved between and under the city levels. Our hero, Arion, is an undefined mix of a rogue, warrior, craftsman and a mage, leaving the blank sheet for the player to balance out the skills according to their style of play.

And don’t think it’s a one-afternoon game. You’ll need a whole lot of leveling and an arsenal of platforming skills to reach all those towers, bosses and loot we’ve got prepared for you. Golden Hour got Steam-approved, so all that’s left is to hope that the Kickstarter campaign goes well.

Features:

Explore a world composed of beautiful hi-res pixel art
Destructive environment with special effects and realistic physics
Game-altering items and equippables such as potions, magic jewelry, shields and armor
Dynamic music following the mood of the game events
Procedurally generated biomes and dungeons
