Downloadable video game publisher Nyu-Media have today announced the impending-launch of their next release, Croixleur, a fun hack & slash game developed by the studio souvenir circ. In addition to this, they have announced the opening of the games homepage and Steam Greenlight campaign. They claim the gameplay of Croixleur is reminiscent of the Devil May Cry series’ Bloody Palace mode, as the protagonist Lucrezia Visconti battles her way through floors of oncoming monsters in a ritual called ‘The Adjuvant Trial’.
Story
Tonight, in the Queen’s realm of Ilance, two prodigies representing the Knight and Aristocrat factions will do battle in ‘the Adjuvant Trial’. This ritual, which has been held since the founding of the nation, decides which faction will hold military and political authority, and protect the Queen, the living symbol of the realm. The fate of the nation is at stake as these two girls set aside their childhood friendship and undergo a trial in which there can be only one victor.
The game contains a total of three game modes, each of which I have listed below:
Story Mode:
Fight your way through the Adjuvant Trial to beat your rival Fran and claim victory for the Aristocrat’s academy of Besier! Defeat all the monsters on a floor to open a portal to the next stage. Multiple routes and endings await, depending on your performance!
Score Attack Mode:
Defeat as many enemies as possible within a 3 minute time limit and rack up the highest score you can! The game ends when time runs out or when your HP reach zero.
Survival Mode:
Battle for survival against a never-ending swarm of monsters and score as many points as possible can before you are defeated! The game ends when your HP reach zero.
The company is wrapping up the English-localization of the game which also features newly enhanced graphics. You should be able to pick this title up from the 24th January at a price of $4.99. You will be able to pick up a copy directly from the games official website HERE (as well as a trial) as well as GamersGate, Desura and other distributors thereafter.
