Key Features<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Roguelite Vibes<\/strong> \u2013 The King of Darkness may be immortal\u2026 But he can still be defeated. You will start your adventure over and over again, that\u2019s how this kind of games works, right? Don\u2019t panic, even if you\u2019re defeated, you still keep some of the stuff and upgrades you earned the last time you lived\u2026 Some of them, at least.<\/li>\n
  • Seed Mechanic<\/strong> \u2013 Summum Aeterna<\/em> includes an original feature never seen before in the genre, the seeds\u2026 Each one generates a unique dungeon with different enemy behavior, rewards, random encounters, and even a larger map size, depending on its attributes and rareness.<\/li>\n
  • Brutal Fast-Paced Combat<\/strong> \u2013 The key to surviving in Summum Aeterna<\/em> is killing every single living (or not, depending on the enemy) being you encounter. How to achieve that? Well, your play as a cursed monarch so your weapons were crafted for a king! Show no mercy, use your swords, shields, pistols, and scythes to make them beg for their miserable lives before they do the same with you\u2026<\/li>\n
  • Rareness is a Virtue<\/strong> \u2013 Every weapon, seed, and gem in Summum Aeterna<\/em> has a rareness level: Common, Infrequent, Strange, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. The higher the rarity of an item, the more benefits. More level means bigger dangers and challenges, but higher rareness too!<\/li>\n
  • Custom Adventures<\/strong> \u2013 In Summum Aeterna<\/em> you can define your own adventure. Each completed dungeon will give you lots of rewards, including seed genes. Thanks to the seed mechanic, you can personalize the world attributes, enemy stats, and conditions by combining different genes\u2026 Each dungeon will be different from the last!<\/li>\n
  • Beautiful Art Style<\/strong> \u2013 Each asset, enemy, NPC, and animation has been hand-drawn using traditional 2d techniques\u2026 Everything you see in Summum Aeterna<\/em>, from the smallest chest to the most colossal boss, has countless hours of hard drawing work. The visuals speak for themselves, the game looks amazing!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
