Malebria
A downloadable game for Windows
Malebria is a top-down 2D pixelated roguelite inspired by some notable titles in the genre like Nuclear Throne and Hades. You can play as any of the ten children (NOTE: only four as of v0.4.2, and only three in the demo) of the major gods and goddesses of Aeyenium as you fight your way through the underworld known as "Malebria". You start as Iruq, the son of the Lord of Death, Exitium. Exitium holds dominion over this realm, and, as your father, he asks your assistance in preventing an invasion. You set out to fulfill his request, collecting wanton souls and becoming more powerful along the way.
You must fight your way through a randomly generated sequence of rooms, purchasing upgrades with the soul fragments you gather from enemies. At the end of each region , you will fight a boss who will grant you access to the next region upon their defeat. You may also find "Shards" during your runs, which can be used outside of runs to permanently upgrade your abilities (NOTE: There are only two regions as of alpha build v0.4.2; the remaining two will be added in the time between the alpha release and v1.0.0).
This game has been in development for roughly two and a half years; I expect 1.0.0 to be done some time during the winter of 2025. This game is currently in its Alpha phase, and that means that buying it comes with a risk. Please understand that this is not a complete game, and should not be treated as such. I am using placeholder art, sounds, and even some major gameplay elements are subject to change. This does not mean that I won't welcome criticism, but there are some things that I am already planning on changing and do not need to be told about (see most recent devlog for details).
I'll reiterate; this is not a completed game, and it is the first one I have ever published, which makes each purchase that much more impactful. With each one, I will be a little more capable of making this a game worth playing. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy my creation :). Tweet me your feedback @EliasPippenger.
P.S. There is a demo version available for free. At the time of August 2024, the paid and free versions are similar, but the demo is missing a character. The reason the paid version exists is because those who buy the game will receive all future updates for free, including the update to 1.0.0, which might be a more expensive version of the game upon its release. The demo content likely will not change much other than bug fixes or quality of life improvements.
