About Unbeliever

This is a game based on struggling and the unbending will of those who try.
Unbeliever urges you to face the challenge of pushing through and conquering your obstacles. As you progress you recall your memories and with them your powers. You will learn to manipulate the elements and exploit your enemies' weaknesses. Each fight requires a unique approach.
This is more of an action rather than a platform game and an experiment on 2D combat mechanics. You can dodge, push your enemies back, burn them, or even send them back through time. The efficiency of your powers depend on your character development choices and on what path you choose to specialize on.

Earn the right to challenge the Unbeliever by slaying beings of great power.
You start with nothing and fight your way to the top. The story is explained through the form of memories that you unlock by making progress in the game. You gain spells and experience to upgrade your stats.Your ultimate goal: find the Unbeliever that killed the Old Gods and get your memory back.

Recall your memories as you delve deeper into this cursed world.
With every little bit of progress you make, you will remember something. The lore of the world will be explained through the memories you recall. Some of them give you information about locations or enemies and some give you new spells.

How you develop your character is entirely up to you. There are 7 different stats that you can invest in.
Health: The amount of pain you can standPower: The potential to cast spells and tumbleAttack: The damage you deal with your regular attacksTechnique: Defines your attack speed, jump distance and dodge distanceHatred: Offensive spells increase the damage they dealGuilt: Affects trick spell parametersDefiance: Affects the most powerful and rare spells.

Furthermore there are at least 5 secrets in each map that reward you with XP, or as they are called "fragments".

Great game, even though some of the traps and the damage of some enemies are pure sadistic. Rest assured, however: There are more than enough checkpoints, some bosses are easy and one of them has an extremely awesome concept, pretty much never found anywhere. In Unbeliver you're in control of someone who lost his memories and the only thing that drives him = the battle. Each time you perform some scripted event that advances the story you unlock a spell and a memory. Pretty cool. There are eight stages and you do ♥♥♥♥ damage to literally everyone. Try to farm enemies and invest skill points on the skill that governs it ASAP. The artstyle reminds me of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, which is a plus and the soundtrack is awesome. The story also has a nice twist. Grab it, already and give it a chance. It's free.

Игра "Unbeliever" оставляет смешанные чувства. С одной стороны - захватывающий сюжет, полный интриг и моральных дилемм, заставляет задуматься о природе веры и разума. Визуальный стиль, хоть и пиксельный, создает мрачную и атмосферную картинку, идеально подходящую для гнетущей истории. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично подчеркивает напряженные моменты и общее настроение безысходности. С другой стороны, геймплей может показаться несколько однообразным. Исследование локаций и решение головоломок порой затягиваются, а боевая система, хоть и не является центральной, выглядит достаточно примитивно. К тому же, концовка может показаться неоднозначной и разочаровать тех, кто ожидал более четкого разрешения конфликта. В целом, "Unbeliever" - это интересный инди-проект, который определенно стоит внимания любителям атмосферных игр с глубоким сюжетом и философским подтекстом. Однако, будьте готовы к некоторым геймплейным шероховатостям и открытой концовке.
