Lured out of her solitude, Gloom Girl discovers a chamber containing DOOMBLADE: a sentient weapon, trapped and bound for eons. “Doom and Gloom” join forces and begin a quest to regain the blade’s powers and exact vengeance on its captors. Wielding DOOMBLADE, Gloom Girl can ride through the air to attack enemies. Target monsters to attack them directly, and slay them with DOOMBLADE’s wrath! The blade hungers for vengeance on the Dread Lords, who bound it in chains and stripped it of its powers. But first, it must regain its strength. Search for demonic shrines, where DOOMBLADE’s powers were hidden and stored by the long dead Gloomfolk, awaiting its return. Then use Doom Drop, Wicked Wind, and the Nightmare Onion to teach your enemies fear. From the abandoned halls of Gloomhaunt, into the New Wilderwood forest full of untrusting tribesmen, through the Molded Mines with their hedonistic shroom people, and into a technological hellscape known as the Power Sector. Gloom Girl must fight her way through these interconnecting worlds and destroy the monsters within as she hunts down the Dread Lords who imprisoned DOOMBLADE. 

Press reviews: “Ultimately, DOOMBLADE is a fantastic metroidvania game with a unique and deceptively fast-paced movement-combat system. It may take some getting used to, and getting used to it will be even harder with a controller, but once you do get used to it, the game is an absolute blast. For fans of the genre, this game is a definite gem and well worth the time.” 95/100 – Noob Feed “I’ve come to seriously enjoy the hyper-mobility of DOOMBLADE. It’s engaging to the point of being incredibly addicting. It’s refreshing in its approach for giving players access to typically endgame content, and it opens the door for nuanced gameplay that ramps up in difficulty.” 90/100 – Digital Chumps “the game itself strikes a good balance ensuring a breath-taking experience for the Metroidvania experience pushing the genre to new heights.” 90/100 – Gaming Cypher
