I, Dracula: Genesis

“Roguelite twin-stick shooter where magic and post-apocalyptic future technologies collide.  Defeat evil lord Dracula and save everyone, repeatedly.

“Procedural generation, lots and lots of upgradeable weapons, spells, perks, alien artefacts, strange technological and magical devices, enemies, NPCs, traps, custom events and hidden shops.  So many of those, you’ll feel overpowered.  On the surface it is a beautiful isometric twin-stick shooter, but inside there’s a huge emphasis on depth, variety, replayability and discovering all those amazing synergies that make your eyes pop!”
