Magenta Horizon- Act 1

Free-to-play early stages for Magenta Horizon

Magenta Horizon is a fast-paced hack-and-slash 2D platformer game that is heavily inspired by Devil May Cry and Hollow Knight.

  Play as Gretel, a reaper in this purgatory-like afterlife. After being exiled from her sanctuary for 200 years, she is freed from her sarcophagus by a wandering soul named Archibald. Seeking purpose in this afterlife she decides to guide Archibald back to the sanctuary she was long exiled from. The journey won't be easy however as the path is fraught with all manner of grotesque demons starving for souls.

• Destroy the enemies with an arsenal of ranged skills that can be chained with each other. 
• Juggle or pull the enemies to simultaneously attack and position yourself.
• Throw healing bombs to turn them into living health potion containers. Hit them to regain health and keep fighting.
• Slay the enemies swiftly and efficiently to gain style points. 

Magenta Horizon Act 1 features:

• Several melee & movement skills that are opened from the start
  
• 6 Exploration-based stages, 5 Boss stages (and one of them is hidden)
• 15 normal enemies and 5 bosses
• 4 ranged skills and 9 necklace pieces that can change your play style
• 3 difficulties
• A good amount of replayability

*****<<Known Issues>>*****

• This game supports both gamepads and K&M, but the menu navigation is only possible with Mouse clicks for now. 
• Most of the cutscene images are not finished yet. The detailed artworks will replace them on later builds. 
• There might be some movement glitches that aren't polished out. (And these glitches aren't really useful at crafting new movement techs or speedrun strats.)
