The Ethereal Trial

The Ethereal Trial is a party game for 2-4 players in which a strange sentient machine lures warriors in with a trial that grants the victor any wish they desire. There are three paths to victory, as unique characters battle it out in this multiplayer top down pixel art fantasy arena brawler. The game has an accompanied an art book that details the background to the games setting as well as its characters.

Hit your opponents or the machine. When KOed*,  players lose their golden orb and drop purple orbs that can be picked up and thrown at the machine to supply it. 

There are 3 randomly generated environments to battle in:

• The Dungeon that has levers that drop bombs.
• The Ice Arena where players can activate a snow storm that covers the field with snow and freezes the water.
• The Volcanic Lair that has damaging pillars of fire that drop large boulders across the battlefield.

In this initial release you can play as Shiba-chan, who wields a giant hammer and has some electrical magic ability.

 

*In a two game a player needs to be KOed 3 times to lose their golden orb.

** The Grab button will also activate a lever in the dungeon environment.
