Aura of Worlds, a Creative Strategy Rogue-lite Platformer is Launching on Steam April 24th

Aura of Worlds, a creative strategy rogue-lite platformer is launching on Steam April 24th. The game has a strong focus on exploration, improvisation and manipulating the environment to your advantage. You survive through utilizing your wits, reflexes and creative abilities.

Outrun death walls, escape flooding passages, face off against gargantuan bosses that have made entire mazes their home. Do you play defensively with the spear and shield, or swing into the fray with a grappling hook and boomerang? Do you scour the levels for potions and runes; or do you dive headfirst into the chaos?

– A plethora of creative abilities ranging from parkhour to cloaking to warping time itself!
– Every object has multiple uses E.g. you can grab that lantern from the ceiling, and carry it around to use as a portable light source or improvised flaming molotov…
