Kingdom Shell 1.0

Kingdom Shell is a metroidvania, pixel art game where you play as a half demon called Elias who is trying to atone for his sins by by protecting the kingdom from threat,s the kingdom was previously protected by a shell which is now broken and it is your responsibility to keep the kingdom safe.

The game plays like a classic platform game with retro style pixel art graphics and some cool looking backdrops, however the control system at times can be a little difficult to get to grips with and there are a few issues such as some checkpoints being spaced very far apart meaning if you should get a restart you have to head back and cover a lot of ground which you already have, it is worth bearing in mind though that this is an early demo version of Kingdom Shell and the developer Cup of Pixels is still making updates to it so these small issues will hopefully be ironed out.

The attacks do look very cool though when facing enemies and fighting them off.

A promising demo of an intriguing Metroidvania style game that should please fans of this genre, not flawless but definitely worth checking out you can download Kingdom Shell demo here for free.
