The Eversoul

Description

You‘re a dark sorcerer who harvests the souls of the dead as their source of magic. Your goal is to find the legendary eversoul – A single, magical soul, rumored to be endlessly powerful. Finally, you located it in a well protected castle swarming with armed knights. This must be it!

Attack and kill enemies, then harvest their soul energy. Spend it to summon dark knights to fight for you. Destroy the castle gate and get yourself that infinite power!

This is a submission for Ludum Dare 52.

Notes

• You can't damage the castle gate yourself. Utilize your dark knights.
• You need to hold the right mouse button and focus a dead body to harvest its soul
• Can’t attack because you are low on mana? Focus to gain mana faster.
• You need 4 souls to spawn a dark knight.
•  If you have a controller connected, keyboard input might be buggy.
• The windows build works slightly better than the web build, due to mouse capturing and shaders.

• Post Jam Update V1.1:
  • Bugfixes and improvements:
    • The web version now uses GLES2, which should fix the colors.
    • fixed bugs in the UI
    • fixed music layering issues
    • fixed animations not being shown (dark knight attack, spawn)
    • hidden progression now works
    • minor balancing
  • The web version on this site still uses the jam version. This will be updated after the jam is finished. If you really want to try it in web, you can see it here:
