DarkHero

The research creation DarkHero is a 2D Metroidvania-style action-adventure game set in a world with a street-style aesthetic. It features a fictional world, a linear storyline, and diverse levels.
The focus of this research creation is to enhance the game's difficulty while maintaining gameplay balance. To achieve this, various enemy types and attack mechanics have been incorporated, along with multi-room level designs and some parkour elements, creating a challenge similar to Souls-like games that test the player’s skills.
The development team took inspiration from various existing games, initially drawing from high-difficulty side-scrolling action-adventure titles such as Hollow Knight and Dead Cells. The goal was to provide players with a satisfying combat experience and an overall improved gaming experience.
This research project presents a world with a street-style yet eerie atmosphere, featuring unique characters with distinct traits. The game's art blends elements of reality with bizarre themes to create a distinctive setting. Additionally, the integration of multi-stage levels enhances the gameplay experience.
