DeathStick is a metroidvania production, developed as a platform action game. The game was developed by the independent studio TeamNora Games and published by HypeTrain Digital.

Plot

DeathStick takes us on a journey to the fantastic world of Aarkalia. The heroine of this game is Mako. The girl travels through the land, trying to discover her secrets and find a way to stop a ritual to awaken an ancient deity, which would bring destruction to the whole world. How it goes and ends depends largely on what we do.

Mechanics

DeathStick is a side-scroller. During the game, we are running ahead, avoiding numerous traps and terrain obstacles and facing hordes of enemies. Mako fights in a close combat, using the stick, and at a distance, making use of a folding fan. Her attacks can be combined into spectacular and deadly combos; nothing stands in the way of knocking down adversaries on the ground or throwing them out and continuing the clash in the air. Besides, the heroine has the ability to jump between dimensions at lightning speed, and as she progresses she gains new skills. They allow her to avoid or eliminate an increasingly diverse range of dangers; they also allow her to visit places that are not accessible in any other way.

Technical aspects

DeathStick has colourful graphics made in pixel art technique.
