About This Game
Ninety-nine floors. Fifteen bosses. Every floor generated fresh, every death final, and a shop that spends what your corpse was carrying so the next hero starts a little less hopeless.
- A smoothly scrolling floor in 256 colours on Layer 2, lit around you and dark where you have not been
- Hardware sprites for everything that moves: monsters that breathe while you think and glide from tile to tile, swings and strikes animated, and every spell and rage drawn — the bolt flies, the blast swells, the frost settles
- Your own hero for each class, and past the rift a gun in his hands: F, SPACE or fire shoots the nearest thing you can see
- A minimap in the corner, with the boss marked on it
- Music on the Next's three AY chips — a tune for the dungeon, the far side of the rift, the bosses, the corridor fight, a death and a victory — and the effects on top
- The corridor fight with its lit lane burning from dark red to orange as the shot comes for you
- Saves on the SD card, two slots, and achievements that survive the power
- A main menu with How to play, Achievements, Music on/off, Credits and the language
- A Kempston or Mega Drive joystick everywhere — the dungeon, every menu, the corridor and the bosses — and every key still there
It is a demake, and the original is coming to Steam
The PC version of Orbs of the Overlord is in development at 7 Towers Soft Games. This is that game rebuilt inside an 8-bit machine: the same classes, the same bosses, the same rift, the same fifteen tells you learn to read.
Three ways down
- WARRIOR — hits hardest, sees furthest, and learns rages: four bought abilities, including Head On, a charge down the line you are facing.
- BATTLEMAGE — middling at everything, and the only spells that reach.
- PRIEST — frail and half-blind, but grows fastest and picks locks.
The rift
Somewhere around the middle, the floors stop being a dungeon. The walls change, the monsters change, your own class changes name — and half the things down there shoot at you. Walk into one of those and the game becomes a three-lane corridor running away to a vanishing point, a magazine of six, and a monster at the far end that lights one lane a heartbeat before it fires. Being somewhere else is the whole of the answer.
What is in it
- 99 floors, with fog, locked doors, hidden rooms and sealed vaults
- 15 bosses, each with its own silhouette and its own tells
- 5 orbs: Warp, Boost, Ghost, Rage, Death
- 33 achievements, kept on the card
- A shop that opens on your death
- English and Greek — the whole game, from the main menu or with G
