Regalcraft Games announced that a demo for One Fenix Down is coming to Steam on July 25. This demo is going to feature a vertical slice of gameplay elements. These include on-map encounters, equipment upgrades, party swapping, and even event-based instant victory.
The game is a story-driven RPG that's also a passion project that spans for almost a decade. Inspired by the 90's golden era, the game offers a good mix of timeless characters, combat design, and story-pacing.
A Hero Rises
One Fenix Down tells the story of the Kingdom of Torloria, which seven years ago was besieged by the Goa Empire. However, as a result of decisive strategic planning along with the sacrifice of countless heroes, the Iron Guard of Torloria has managed to keep the hordes of Goa at bay. This has resulted in the Kingdom getting a much-needed breathing space under a thin veil of peace.
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the country, those who weren't summoned to the frontlines are tasked with going to the mines. They're asked to look for a rare resource that's being coveted by a religious order. The sudden reappearance of monsters in these mines has resulted in a young miner making the decision to challenge his destiny. Not only does he confront his shameful past, but also seek redemption while at the same time carving his own legacy as the son of the fabled "Hero of Torloria."
To succeed, he'll need to decipher a cryptic message that he alone can hear which is "You must protect Fate." Indeed, the young miner's journey won't be easy as it's going to be filled with challenges. The good news is that he has companions who many have the strength needed to overcome the trials that lie ahead.
A Nostalgic Trip
The gameplay is something that brings to mind the JRPG of the 90's. Players can look forward to a large cast of characters who are fully fleshed out. Each one has their own benevolent, or even diabolical, objectives and ambitions. Overall, there are 14 playable party members who frequently come and go to ensure that the gameplay is kept exciting.
When facing enemies, players get to experience classic turn-based combat that have three difficulty levels. They can use powerful skills that include elemental magics, martial arts, and deadly traps. They can even use the abilities of the monsters.
