Battle dangerous fantasy monsters and devious traps in the mysterious world of Illusoria – Out now on Steam!

MADRID – May 30, 2017 – Published by BadLand Games and developed by indie studio Under the Bridge, the fantasy, 2D platformer Illusoria can now be purchased on Steam (Windows).

Relive the halcyon days of 2D action platforming from inspired ‘90s classics Heart of Darkness and Flashback, by experiencing a dangerous fantasy world bursting with menacing monsters, challenging jumps, and valuable secrets hiding in plain sight whilst defending the Empress against the Puppet Master!

As the Keeper of the Flame, you’re on a quest to protect the Empress and save the Kingdom of Illusoria from a terrifying curse.

After the Puppet Master emerges from the void, he quickly begins corrupting the land – turning every living creature into abominations that attack and kill everything in sight. Now it’s up to you in a race against time – gaining the power of the Guardian – to put an end to the Puppet Master’s plans for world domination in this beautifully illustrated action platformer.

Death lurks at every corner as dangerous monsters and devious traps lay in wait. Be nimble and quick, to flawlessly execute precision jumps. Roll out of the way or crouch to dodge incoming attacks. Hold on for dear life as you cling to the edges of walls or climb steep cliffs to clear each one of the game’s 12 action-packed levels. All of Illusoria’s environments and animations have been painstakingly painted frame by frame – with a minimalist HUD that never gets in the way. The atmospheric vibe is further enhanced by an all-original soundtrack – composed by Victor Riera – with an emphasis on environmental sound effects.

Cast powerful fireballs to take down enemies or protect yourself by creating a flaming shield. When all else fails, set yourself ablaze and lunge at hordes of monsters that would otherwise block your path. Knowing how and when to rely on magic is crucial if you want to defeat the Puppet Master’s legion of monsters – and live to tell the tale.
