ThePrimal League

The pitch

The Primal League is a hand crafted pixel art metroidvania built around its fights. Reptile bandits on the savannah, assassins who strike from nowhere, a burning beast nesting in the crypts, and five playable heroes to deal with all of it.

Each hero plays like a different game. Kira sneaks and snipes, Kael tanks, Gunnar rages through crowds, Fred blasts from a distance and Markhor sets traps and calls in artillery. The same boss room turns into a completely different fight depending on who you bring.

The story starts with a theft. The Omnicore keeps the island alive, and someone took it. Chasing it leads the heroes across the Cobalt Scale Continent and into the hands of a syndicate that has been pulling strings for a very long time.

The heroes

Kira The Rogue

Bow at range, daggers up close, invisibility when things go wrong. Kira can end a fight before the enemy knows it started. She also goes down fast, so the trick is never getting hit at all.

Kael The Knight

Sword, shield and a lot of armor. Kael throws his shield to hit enemies at range, then stands his ground and takes the hit that would flatten anyone else. The most forgiving pick on the roster.

Gunnar The Berserker

No bow, no spells, no plan B. Gunnar feeds on rage and spends it on the Cyclone, a spinning axe attack that clears a whole crowd. He has nothing at range, so he never stops pushing forward.

Fred The Sorcerer

Fred commands every element and hits harder than anyone else in the league. He also falls over if something looks at him wrong. Keep your distance and pick your moment.

Markhor The Engineer

Pistols, traps and an artillery strike on call. Markhor is an old soldier who treats every fight like a problem to solve. Set the field up right and the enemies walk straight into it.
