Caos Trigger: Golem Attemps Classic Metroidvania Action

Metroivania is something of its own legitimate genre recently – and I tell ya, the kids love it. We also don’t have enough of them! Thankfully, Dusty Cat Media is making Caos Trigger: Golem – a Metroidvania (in case you didn’t already know) about a girl who can create, summon, and command golems.

In a fantasy world ridden with demons, one of the most powerful, known as Caos, has had enough, and seeks out a means to vanquish all. He turns to Anaise, a brave young girl to assist him. In an attempt to destroy all demons, himself included, he causes a catastrophic explosion that leaves Anaise with no memory. She’s subsequently kidnapped by pirates, then raised on a brooding island. Unfortunately, not all the demons and evil of the world were vanquished in the explosion, but Caos’ heroic sacrifice left Anaise with the power and abilities to finish what he started.

In classic Metroidvania fashion, you’ll be exploring large 2D pixel art environments, crossing paths with enemies and allies alike. Throughout the world, you’re required to find Golem Scrolls, which give Anaise an array of of golems to summon, all featuring distinct abilities and attributes. Each scroll requires the player to seek out specific ingredients in order to summon the Golem.

Caos Trigger: Golem is currently on Kickstarter, seeking $50,000 in pledges. There is a demo available on the campaign page for those interested. The game is expected to come out on Windows, iOS, Android, and the OUYA.  For more information on Dusty Cat Media, you can follow them on Twitter and like them on Facebook.
