Section 1;

The game is a hack and slash 2D puzzle game. It requires skill and good knowledge of puzzles. The main character has a huge sword named Excalibur. There are 3 primary attacks that you can use, basic slash, forward stab and heavy slash. These three can be used in many different combos to create massive chain attacks that result in a big flashy Aura blast. Aura blasts can be used by all the characters, they consume MP but are very effective against big crowds of demons. The second character is named Arc (he is the default character for the demo) has electricity powers and so can conduct/discharge big waves of electricity and lightning. His primary ability is called Conduction. Conduction is a defensive ability that electrocutes all enemies near the player while lighting strikes down onto his and is conducted through his body. This ability is unique, it charger his MP, his Static charge and gains health back if he hits enemies when it’s activated. It also increases his basic attack power for 5s. Arcs basic attacks are punches and kicks infused with electricity. His second ability is called Bolt strike; Arc creates a lightning Bolt and hurls it through all enemies. His third ability is called God speed; God speed increases attacking speed and ability power, so it can be used before using Lightning bolt. This characters summoning bar is called his Static charge. The more abilities he uses the more charge he gains. When this bar fills to max, Arc can go first stage summoning, known as S2. In his first stage release, Arcs body becomes completely statically charged will electricity and cannot be touched by demons or they will take small damage over time will being in his vicinity. While in S2, all of Arcs abilities become stronger and change names, First ability: Storm cloud, Second ability: Lighting strike, and the third ability is called Shock Charge.

When playing arc, it is essential to be at full charge at all times for max attack speed and power on abilities and chain those abilities well.

Narrative

In a world filled with demons and magic, Summoners were created by the Gods in the early stages of earth’s creation as protectors of the human world. Summoners were super-humans with elemental supernatural powers, all with unique techniques and special abilities that allow them to fight strong demons in the spirit realm. The ancient Summoners were the first of the generations and the strongest, known as the primal Summoners. The ancient Summoners had immense power, such power that challenged gods themselves, changing landscapes with just a lift of their fingers.

In the spirit realm, there are the 4 Demon kings of the west, east, south and North. In terms of power, North was known to be the weakest after east, then south and West as the deadliest most ruthless and most powerful. The wars between the Summoners and demons would go on for centuries, until one day, when humans allied with the Summoners in order to defeat the demons, they succeeded killing two of the demon kings. As thousands of years past, Summoners were forgotten to the ages, now a thing of myth, they hide in society.

 You play as Ark the second strongest Summoner on the planet currently known to man. Your powers allow you to control and manipulate lighting/electricity however you please. You are stranded in the middle of a desert, looking for a purpose in life. You stumble upon an old ancient temple protected by massive sand worms. The worms and fighting some demons and you decide to interrupt….
