Soladius (Original Demo)

What the current demo of Soladius is like:

The demo is the only version of the game that is out right now and is meant to demonstrate how some of the games core mechanics will be like.

You fight infinitely in a large area, trying to survive for as long as you can and kill as many enemies as you can. 

There are a few health packs scattered around, but they do not regenerate, so you have to think smart, attack fast, and be careful if you want to survive.

The game will have primarily ranged enemies, just the demo version only includes melee to save on some development time.

What the game will be once it is complete:

Soladius will be a 2D fighting game where you fight enemies in an arena that switches out to a different one each wave.

When you get farther through waves, and complete secrets and achievements, you can unlock bits of the worlds lore in a journal, allowing you to slowly uncover the history of the world and how it works. 

Soladius takes place in a society rebuilt from what was left of civilization after an apocalypse, which is founded upon energy extracted from humans themselves, often called "soul". The player is a fighter against their will in an important gladiatorial event that takes place only once every 10 years in what is one of the largest remaining cities.
