KENSEI (itch)

KENSEI is an upcoming RPG for the GameBoy built in GB Studio.

Head to the land of Izumo, where Samurai still practice their craft, and Demons still prowl the surface. You play as the Ronin, a samurai seeking to surpass the Four Sword Masters to claim the title of "Sword Saint" - to become Izumo's KENSEI.

FEATURES:

• An "Open World" story: seek the sword masters in any order, or not at all! Perhaps you are skilled enough to defeat the Evil plaguing Izumo from the start...
  (FULL GAME ONLY)
• A deadly turn based battle system: you must learn your opponents moves and find their weaknesses to end battle swiftly. Any fight could be your last if you are reckless.
• A Rogue-Lite journey: you must conserve your HP & SP - to save your game in KENSEI, you must please the Kami with donations to their shrines.
• Multiple skills to learn: challenge the Sword Masters to learn their hidden techniques, or learn optional skills to enhance your exploration of Izumo.
• Crafting: collect items and manage your inventory space, and use resources to craft tools to aid you in battle.
• Overworld combat: strike your foes with your Sword before they ambush you to gain an advantage in battle, or use Shurikens to eliminate them before they get the chance! No random encounters!
• Stunning pixel art from Pixel Boy modified for the GameBoy by LazyDev, and gorgeous menu icons by Vector Pixel Star.
• "Color Enhanced": KENSEI is playable in traditional DMG greens, but with color mode, Izumo evokes the feel of classic Samurai film/anime.
• Secrets & Lore to discover: Inspired by Japanese folklore and classic Samurai media, KENSEI aims to please genre fans.
