About Elysian Inferno

Savannah College of Art and Design - Student Capstone Game 2025This is a short game created over 6 months by our team of 5 undergraduate studentsFeatured at GDC 2025 - SCAD Booth

Fight your way through Sanctus and Malum, the Realms of the Afterlife. Simultaneously play as the Mage and the Warrior, split from a soul torn between the two worlds, as you attempt to relink your soul back together and escape death.

In this Hack and Slash ARPG, you grow stronger as you gain new abilities during your journey, with unique ability sets between the two characters you play as. You must make use of all your abilities to match elements to what enemies are vulnerable to.

Features:

  • Puzzle Combat: Match colored elemental attacks to the enemies' stacks of hearts to be able to damage them, requiring the deliberate use of abilities between both the Mage and Warrior.
  • Satisfying Fast-Paced Action: You must be agile and decisive in how you approach combat to effectively cut through the defenders of the afterlife!
  • Two Worlds At Once: Instantly and seamlessly swap between Sanctus and Malum, inverse worlds of each other, as you fight the variety of unique enemies within each. Discover hidden combat encounters and upgrades on your journey!
  • Customizable Controls: Every ability can be bound to any key/button on your ability hotbar, and can be rebound to let you play with any control scheme to best fit you! There is also full parity between Mouse and Keyboard and Controller. (Game plays best with Controller)
  • Adaptive Original Soundtrack: Listen to unique tracks that respond to your gameplay, with music seamlessly blending to different themes between Sanctus and Malum.
Will you face your judgement and destroy those that stand in your path to escape the Afterlife, or will your soul be severed and your fate lost forever?

Neat game. The duality reminds me of the fire and water flash games from back in the day but more rpg than platformer. Always a pleasure to play something from others at SCAD

Elysian Inferno is a very interesting action RPG because of the way it splits its main character into two different combat styles. I control a mage and a warrior who have been separated from the same soul, and I have to guide both of them through the realms of the afterlife. I liked the central idea immediately because the story and gameplay both revolve around bringing these two halves back together. The combat is fast and straightforward, with both characters having different abilities that suit their roles. The warrior is more comfortable in direct combat, while the mage gives me access to magical attacks and abilities. I enjoyed switching between their strengths because some enemies are vulnerable to particular elemental effects, so I cannot simply rely on one character throughout the whole adventure. The ability progression is one of the more enjoyable parts for me. As I move through the game, I gain access to new abilities and become better at combining the skills of both characters. I liked the sense of growth because it gives me more ways to approach encounters without turning the game into a huge statistics driven RPG. The two realms also give the adventure a strong vis…

Fascinating concept and something I thing could be widely expanded on. Though not for me, I would 100% recommend this to other people.
