About Obsidian Crown
‘Obsidian Crown’ is a top-down, roguelite shooter for Windows / PC that doesn't require the player to kill everything in sight! Featuring Pixel graphics and a unique ‘karma’ game mechanic, Obsidian Crown challenges each player to find the right balance of weapons in order to complete the game, save planet Earth, and rescue your beloved pet! You must survive the myriad creatures and devices that want to harm you, while showing your captors that humanity is capable of mercy.
Fortunately the cosmic beings that control the multiverse have provided some useful ‘trinkets’ for you to use in your quest for survival. They range from projectiles weapons that destroy your enemies, to defensive weapons that improve your karma and help to light your way.
The choice is yours, kill your enemies but reduce the amount of light and speed, or boost your speed and light by using the harmless ‘bubble guns’. May you have fun and adventures on your journey!
(Configurable Controls WASD + Mouse OR Windows compatible Xbox gamepad)
*Please note, you may have to change your Steam settings controller to ' generic gamepad configuration support'. It's also beneficial to remove your gamepad if you're using keyboard and mouse controls instead :)

I've been playing this game for close to an hour now and I must admit I'm completely hooked. The style is gloriously retro with a great old-school sci-fi vibe to the score, and the concept is wonderfully simple yet provides a deeply immersive and satisfying experience. At its core, Obsidian Crown is a rogue-like shooter but uniquely blends with a karma system- one which punishes the player by lowering their visibility when using conventional (and much more powerful) weaponry and thus lowering their karma level, and allowing for their karma level and visibility to be restored by the use of non-violent, 'blue' weapons or avoiding enemies entirely until the time limit of the level ends and the exit appears. I applaud any game which gives players different and more peaceful pathways to progress through its narrative, and Obsidian Crown very much does this, as well as functioning smoothly and without error whilst doing so. Character sprites are really creative and well crafted in this game, as well as the general art style being gorgeous- evoking memories of playing games on my Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum as a kid. Bosses are extremely fun, but nonetheless very challenging- no pushover…3 found this helpful
