Spellbearers is a top-down, 2D, twin-stick shooter mechanically inspired by the classic SNES game, “Super Smash TV.” Geared towards those looking for a game wrapped in nostalgia, it has a modern look and retro atmosphere, not unlike older “Legend of Zelda,” “Gauntlet,” and “Castlevania” games. Casting powerful spells, battle against hordes of magical enemies to liberate the rulers of three kingdoms that have been overtaken by dark forces. With staff in hand, do you have what it takes to uphold the title of The Spellbearer? STORY Darkness sweeps over the mythical world of Spellbourne, out of which emerge beasts and monsters that were said to have long been banished. An evil force has brought them back and must be stopped. This darkness has invaded the three ruling kingdoms of Spellbourne, their rulers overtaken and transformed into hideous and destructive monsters. If there is to be any hope in defeating this evil, all three kingdoms must be saved by restoring the rulers back to their original forms. Amid the ensuing chaos, Four legendary heroes arise to take up the call. Destined to forever shoulder the burdens of magic, they are known only as the Spellbearers.
