Skyho Announces AVELUNE, A 2D Metroidvania For PC
A solo developer's first Steam release set in a mechanical ruined kingdom, with a customizable support partner and 50 bosses total, arrives as an alpha build with no release date attached.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Individual developer Skyho announced AVELUNE on September 23, a 2D Metroidvania action game for PC via Steam. It is set in the ruined Kingdom of Abel, where a giant tower descended from the heavens and the king vanished. Players equip three skill slots, including DASH and PIERCING WAVE, and travel with a customizable support character. The game has 20 story bosses and 30 field bosses.
AVELUNE is in development for PC on Steam, and the footage shown so far is alpha-version gameplay. Skills fit into three slots, and the support character's behavior shifts with the cores equipped. Auxiliary modules become available as the game progresses, which the announcement expects to widen tactical options.
The map stays dark except around the player, and the illuminated range changes, which points to an exploration upgrade element. Cracked pipes and walls can be destroyed by attacking them, and hidden paths appear to be part of the search. Abandoned robots and severed cables sit in the background of the ruined Kingdom of Abel.
