About Poor Lucas and the Evil Duke

Poor Lucas and the Evil Duke is a Metroidvania with action and RPG elements. Jump, slide, wall jump, swim, and battle your way through the Dukedom. Other mechanics include pushing boxes, pulling levers, and swinging on ropes. Enemies drop essences that will eventually unlock stat boosts or spells. Items in the game may be dropped as magic or can be enchanted.This game was built as a hobby, so it might not be the prettiest thing, but it is designed to be fun. This game features a level scaling system that raises monster levels as you complete the map. This keeps the game challenging as you progress through the game. Weapons and armor have levels based on the enemies that dropped them as well.

If you randomly stumbled on this game and you think it looks poorly made, I'm here to tell you it is NOT. There is a surprising amount of depth packaged into this game, and you can find items/spells/ect. that you can use to create up to five different loadouts that you can switch between on the fly. The enemies and bosses I've fought so far were reminiscent of the old games I've played in the past, and there is no shortage of creativity involved in their strange and spooky appearances. This is a hidden gem that is worth picking up and playing at least once in your life.

To get the elephant out of the room: this game is not for people who don't like their eyes challenged a bit. Personally, I find the MS-Paint-like look quite charming, and would certainly rank it above just another asset flip. So how's the gameplay? Shocker – it's actually good! First of all, this game is quite huge. Think Axiom Verge 2, with 2 whole maps to explore. And it doesn't get boring either. Progression is well-paced, a good number of different areas and, most importantly, really good enemy variety, with foes that constantly surprise you with new behaviors you have to adapt to. Your moveset is simple, but functional. You have a lot of control over your jumps and a very fast, speedrun-friendly backdash (not unlike Symphony of the Night). Each weapon only has 1 attack, but different weapon types have different attack speeds, swing animations with different vertical and horizontal reach, and recovery frames. Enemies will often require you to place and time your swings and jumps well in order to hit them without taking damage. It might not look like much at first, but requires a good amount of mastery and all in all works pretty well. And, best for last: the customization.…
