About Illusoria

Illusoria is a 2D platformer game that recalls all of those platformers that emerged during the nineties. Games such as Flashback, Heart of Darkness or Another World.
Illusoria is a game where players can immerse themselves in a fantasy world full of wonderful characters and terrible monsters. A place where death lurks past every corner and where patience and expertise will be your best allies.

The Prophecy has been fulfilled, and the Puppet Master has emerged from the void; a being capable of corrupting the worlds he encounters with its mere presence, turning living beings into abominations that attack and kill everything within reach while he gains power.

As Keeper of the Flame, you must protect the kingdom of Illusoria, its inhabitants and Amelia, its empress. To achieve this, you must acquire the power of the Guardian throughout your adventure in order to defeat the Puppet Master and his host of monsters. Time is against you and the Empress is counting on you.

Features and Gameplay:



  • The player will have the chance to play at his own pace throughout the story and as your power increases so will your combat prowess. The main skills include running, crouching, rolling, climbing, clinging to ledges or making leaps of different lengths depending on the accuracy needed for the jump.

  • Progressing through the story the player will learn how to toss fireballs, create flaming shields for protection against enemies or lunge at enemies while engulfed in flames. But until then, you will be vulnerable.

  • The game lets the player choose between rushing through the levels or stopping to discover more about the history of Illusoria and its inhabitants through a system of notes and scrolls that the player can collect throughout the adventure.

  • The game’s HUD, reduced solely to the text boxes during dialogues, has been removed for a better immersion into the world of Illusoria.

  • During the loading screen, you will see your character progress on his journey across Illusoria in an illustrated map that will be revealed as you complete the different areas of the game.

    What’s so special about Illusoria?



    Illusoria’s art is very special, as the environments and interface is created from digital illustration. The animations and characters used throughout have been traditionally painted frame by frame in order to get a unique polished look. This also comes complete with a rhythmic soundtrack, composed by Victor Riera, where greater importance was used on environmental sound to create a suitable atmosphere for each level within the game.

✦ AI summary

Illusoria has attractive cartoon graphics and art style with proper 4K support, which players appreciate as a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing experience. However, the game suffers from severely poor controls that are sluggish and unresponsive, making platforming sections extremely frustrating, and the difficulty becomes unfairly punishing in later stages with cheap one-hit kills that feel uncontrollable. Players also note misleading store information about trading cards that don't actually exist in the game.

The store page says that the product has trading cards, but it is not actually the case. There is no card drop or card page available.

It is really bad game that have worst controls and one hit kill so even if you hit jump button in proper time, it is not guaranteed that you will be survived. In later stages, game become impossible to beat.

Illusoria is a story driven fantasy 2D platformer with cartoon graphics. Steam has thousands of 2D platformers and most of them are completely awful in all respects. Illusoria, surprisingly, has very nicely implemented graphics and art style, and proper support for 4K resolution. Sadly, this is the only difference. The game itself is terrible. The controls are some of the worst I've seen, muddy, sluggish and annoying. Most of the time you can only use 1 control at the same time, which makes jumping in any given direction rather difficult. It's possible they never playtested the game, it's possible they never played any other game before so had no basis for comparison to see if they were doing it right. Ultimately, we may never know why this is a terrible game, just that it is. I hope the artist got work with some real developers.

It's one of the worst video games I've just ever played in my life. Do not buy this game.

I have no idea why someone made a Cinematic Platformer in 2017, but they did and it's terrible. This game runs way too slowly, the controls are awful and the genre is no longer relevant. If you want to play a good cinematic platformer go back and play Prince of Persia
