About Empress of Gold

The Story:


Set in feudal Japan, 1336.

The player takes on the role of a ninja, out for vengeance against a corrupt Nobel who ordered the killing of an entire clan of ninjas in the area. Maybe the Empress of Gold can help restore balance, unless she's already captured.

Play Style 1 - Stealthy.


Players can assassinate every enemy soldier, with sneaky mixed with fast paced action.

Play Style 2 - Speed run!


Players can avoid almost every troop, except for the bosses.

Current Features:

  • 2 types of weapons. Sword / Katana & Shuriken / Throwing stars.
  • 5 types of enemies.
  • 15 levels.
  • 8 cut scenes.
  • Health items to pick up & keys to find which unlock doors.
  • Level code system. Every cut-scene will reveal the code.
  • Music to go along with the journey.


Controls:



A,D = move left & right
W,S = climb up & down / drop down
Space = jump
Left mouse click = use sword / Katana
Right mouse click = throw shuriken (infinite)
H = show 'helpers'
C = temporary block

* Various glitches exist, and we're working towards fixing them.
* If the player gets stuck in the ground, try crouching and then standing back up. Or run into the nearest wall to get out of the floor.
* If the end of the level area does not work, try jumping into the area or shooting it.
* The music in the trailer is not in the game.

Other Notes:


'Helpers';

Small green cubes - Enemy soldier way-point.
Large green cubes - End of level indicator.
Orange - Edge of wall indicator.
Red/green - Wall climb indicator.

These will only appear for a second.

I like the Japanese concept of Ninja doing something else than just spying and doing mercenaries work. Unlike from history in the game the Ninja is doing the "honorable" way of taking revenge from the one who was killing fellow Shinobis' near by and getting help from the Empress of Gold. The background is easy on eyes reminds me of old silk screen paintings which the music blends in smoothly. The Hero (Ninja) does the legendary light on his feet movement which folklore and legend tells how they move. The use of the throwing stars shuriken and katana...so into the game kill em bad guys and even become the Empress herself- am not done but I like...so far

"Empress of Gold" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere (although this one is 3D rendered, it's just got 2D gameplay). You're supposed to control a ninja and go fight against a bunch of enemies, but this is so badly made it comes across as a high school coding project (and the student failed the course and was held back a year as a result of this garbage). There's an element of asset flipping here, too... it looks like the developer made their own ninja assets (because they look comedically terrible, low poly blobs), coupled with a bunch of immaculate background assets like high res, detailed medieval houses and so on. Yeah... I don't believe the developer when they're representing (by omission of any game credits) that they created all these assets themselves. They used someone else's assets and they're trying to pass them off as their own. That's plagiarism. It's not okay. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. Ther…

I like the concept of the story. Graphics are easy on the eyes, reminds me of the the movie ninja scroll an early japanese anime film. Every stage keeps you glued to your device because keeps on getting challenging and interesting. I also like the concept of throwing ninja stars and the use of katana. highly recommended game two thumbs up. Kudos to the developer!
