A World of Possibilities
A roguelite where improvisation and know-how surpass stats, Aura of Worlds gives you the freedom to fight, explore, and fully interact with your environment. Demanding sharp wit and precise reflexes, the game encourages creativity: Should you just loot the cursed treasure chest (like it goads you to) or wield it as a weapon? Follow the enemy-laden path ahead, or make your own? Blink, bounce, grapple or fly across lava pits or just blow them up in a glorious spray of embers? In Aura of Worlds, ingenuity and craziness often work to your advantage!
Featuring pixel-perfect visuals and an earworm-worthy chiptune soundtrack, Aura of Worlds will have you traverse ever-changing death labyrinths – turning adversity into advantage. Escape flooding passages, outrun toxic pollen, and face off against gargantuan bosses. Do you go on defense with a spear and energy shield … or swing into the fray with a boomerang, grappling hook, and a grin? The choices – unlike your health potions – are endless.
