Hey everyone! Just released my retro arcade / RPG hybrid Frog Souls. It features simple controls, rogue-lite style upgrades and an unfolding story.
It's inspired by Dark Souls, not so much for the gameplay but more the ambient characteristics. There's strange encounters, enemy attack patterns to remember, that feeling of dread going up against a challenging boss or enemy before mastering the fight and overcoming it. Right from the get go things will seem strange, and the story will reveal itself in a subtle way, wherein the player will need to explore to find more answers. I've had friends playing it on iOS for weeks thinking they had seen everything only to later find a whole new hidden area, boss, power-ups or abilities. The video on the itch.io page gives a peek at alot more of the content.
Here's a review from 148apps for the iOS version !
