About Legend of Radiance


• Take on the challenge


Legend of Radiance is greatly inspired by the Souls and Legend of Zelda series. The game is set up around taking on difficult challenges and overcoming them by skill and improvement!

• Stylized 3D graphics


The game uses a render method called "sprite stacking" to achieve a unique 2.5D effect with pixel art. This creates a convincing 3D space with a free camera for a look that no other game has!

• Start your own adventure


The world is open and nonlinear! Go where you want on your adventure and decide which areas and enemies you want to discover first! The world design is inspired by the original Legend of Zelda(NES), so freedom, exploration, and secrets are abundant!

• Place legendary Life Stones to progress


Magical Life Stones which function as 'bonfires' from the Souls games, can be placed where you like. They help cut a path through the darkness to reach your next destination! Be careful though, as Life Stones are very rare!

• Survive the darkness


You are a radiant being which needs light! Keep an eye out for light sources or bring one with you. If you go without light for too long you will die!

• Improve your character with a variety of items, upgrades, and souls


Collect souls from defeating challenging enemies or buying them from merchants to level up. Equip yourself with unique items you acquire in dungeons to maximize your build! You will need everything you can get to take on the unforgiving world!

• Random generation will make each adventure unique


Which dungeons you find where will differ with each game, making each playthrough different! This encourages exploration instead of relying on set locations for items and bosses. Finding unique items early can make for interesting character builds too!

• New Update!


A large update will be coming around the corner to add quality of life changes and a new boss + dungeon in 2023! This will be a 1.1 update!

Have only played a few hours so far but I wanted to leave a review already because this game has really surprised me with how good it is. It is being made by only one developer but everything seems well done and thought out, I can tell this is definitely a labour of love project. [b] Graphics - [/b] while I'm not always a fan of voxel graphics I am a fan of pixel art and I actually think this game looks really good and does a good job of combining both, it's especially cool that you can rotate the camera fully 360 everywhere and look at everything from different angles [b] Sound - [/b] I feel like this is something a lot of games (especially indie games) fall short on as it's not prioritised, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything so far has sounded good, weapon hits, magic casting, pots breaking, etc. even that satisfying clink when picking up coins that I love when games get right. I've only fought one boss so far, but it had some pretty good fight music there, too [b] Story - [/b] I haven't gotten far so I can't go too in depth but it seems good so far, it's playing out like a Zelda style save the world from the evil king but told in a souls-like fairly vague fashion, th…

Small game, but made with big soul! This game encourages you to experiment with items and explore locations. Nice pixel art and music. Fight is moderately difficult and interesting. And some more nice things... -Rotation camera in 2D game; -Physics of doors and things; -Ignition by fire; -BOMBS; -Main mechanics of game (dark and radiance) - keeps you in constant tension and does not allow you to go far without prior preparation. LoR = Dark Souls + Zelda + Don't Starve + wolves from Gothic) So if you like these games, you should pay attention to this game. The only minuses - map... and main hero that cannot pick up a torch to hand, because religion does not allow for him) Map is the weakest part of this game. You cannot put marks, the used altars and passages (wall or exit) cannot be marked on the map. After a certain time, it becomes difficult to navigate. So I use the "Paint" and myself mark where everything was examined and where I can go. But it's good that map is at least be) Thanks to the developer for the work well done! P.S. Cool Epic Music for Trailer #2 <3

[hr][/hr] I had received this when the developer was trying to get the word out on the game and advertised a few keys for free. I immediately responded with: [list] [*]Me: "Slimes, treasures, and bullets. I will gladly take a key, please." [*]Dev: "[spoiler] [strike] Key [/strike] [/spoiler] have fun destroying those slimes!" [*]Me: "Thank you kind noble!" [*]Dev: "Also, if you want to join the game's Discord to get the inside scoop: [u][strike] Outdated Link [/strike][/u]" [hr][/hr] I happened to be in a streamer/content creators Discord when he advertised. Popping in there was not very common for me during this time of day. Right place, right time, and very glad. I had initially missed the 3 Dimensional aspects built into this game. When the Dev posted the trailer advertising the game, it was only very obviously in the game in the first 5 seconds of the initial trailer. Upon entering the Discord I was immediately greeted by the Developer and a member of the group. There was only around 17 people total at the time I joined. [hr][/hr] The Dev is very responsive and present, is willing to take ideas but will keep to his vision, and is a one man team cur…

Awesome little souls-like pixel art game, developer listens to the community and is working super hard to bring new features and content. Combat is tough, and your character requires light sources to avoid debuffs and eventually damage, so lighting braziers and bonfires is a must. Obviously early access at the moment, but dedicated solo developer working hard. For the small asking price, I am enjoying it so far!
