Description

TAKE UP ARMS! Hop in the Paladin power armor, seize melee weapons from the demonic invaders and give them a taste of their own medicine!

History

The sight of giant swords blazing through the night sky might be hair-raising, but stand your ground! The sinister Ravenous and his legions of brutal demons are poised for battle. Even all the armies of the world can’t stop them, but humanity has one final ace in the hole: cutting-edge power armor called Paladin. It's now up to a strong-willed android named Flame to become a Squire, pilot the Paladin and track down all Weapon Keepers and their diabolical leader. The showdown between mankind’s technological prowess and the powerful forces of the occult has begun!

Features

  • An engaging action-platformer with fun and intuitive swordplay!
  • Take control of Grit, the mighty Paladin power armor, or eject and play as Flame, the small-but-swift Squire pilot!
  • Robots meet demons! Crush the forces of the occult with the power of cutting edge technology!
  • Over 100 melee weapons to seize from enemies!
  • Use weapons profusely: wield, throw, or shatter them!
  • Snap a weapon in half to cast a powerful spell!
  • Slash, bash and thrust your way through 17 mind-blowing levels located around the world!
  • Carefully crafted 8-bit graphics, just like you remember them!

Not only does the score combine classic chiptune melodies with modern instrumentation, there was also an 8bit rendition released for those who want to take a more nostalgic approach.
