New Platform Brawler "Earth Romance" Announced
In the time-honored tradition or Melty Blood, Marvel vs Capcom, comes Earth Romancer, a tournament-grade platform brawler in development for various platforms, including consoles (fingers crossed for Xbox One). The game is being developed by Lunar Hare Studios, led by competitive gamer Blank Mauser. Earth Romance has launched a Fig funding campaign, the funds will be used to finalize development in order to achieve a Q1 2019 release window. You can check out the fundraising campaign HERE.
Earth Romancer molds together familiar game mechanics such as flexible combo chaining of traditional fighters, and the intuitive control scheme and movement of Smash Brothers, with new and inventive mechanics. Earth Romancer offers a vibrant Nintendo-esque aesthetic and an original soundtrack inspired by old-school platformers and classic fantasy RPGs. New features include:
- Dash or jump through projectiles for intense bullet-hell style fighting.
- Spawn stage objects while fighting and manipulate the environment to your advantage
- Unique character-specific air actions.
- Two modes of play! Choose Redshift or Blueshift modes or play a combination of both and switch mid-combat.
The game is set in a fictional universe called Xamsara, which is inhabited by Arcanum, mystical creatures of otherworldly power that are attracted to the emotions and dreams of people. Throughout Earth Romancer you will also get to know the various races that populate Xamsara and their symbiotic relationship with the Arcanum. It’s an intricate, world-building experience filled with intrigue, drama, and beauty.
