Take control of Wisteria Asagiri in this Japanese-style fantasy platformer that revives 80s and 90s classics. Guide her through multiple dimensions to stop the wizard Maskandes' evil scheme, saving Earth, the Higher Realm, and Under-Realms. Master the tri-color sword attack system-red, blue, and yellow-to defeat palette-swapped enemies and clear stage obstacles.
Enemies cycle through the three colors at random, demanding quick color matches like rock-scissors-paper to deal damage. Precision timing trumps button mashing, with eight stages of tight platforming and complex boss battles. Fans of deliberate, judgment-based action platformers will find the perfect test of skill in its 16-bit aesthetic.
Violet Wisteria sees the return of Japanese style 80s and 90s fantasy platformers as you take control of Wisteria Asagiri to save not only Earth but the Higher Realm and Under-Realms as well. Master the 3 color attack system to overcome a myriad of obstacles and enemies. Travel across multiple dimensions to thwart the wizard Maskandes' sinister plot. With presentation inspired by heroine platformers like Valis and Alisia Dragoon, and gameplay influenced by classics like Silhouette Mirage and Ikaruga, only the most determined will be able to see the heart wrenching finale.
Violet Wisteria's claim to fame is its tri-color attack gimmick, which can be likened to rock-scissors-paper but with colors instead of symbols. Wisteria can execute three different colored sword attacks, and enemies appear at random in palette swaps of the same three colors. Learning to use the correct color attack against the correct color enemy is key to progressing, and stage obstacles will also require using this attack system in a variety of ways. This isn't a game where you can just start mashing buttons and perform melee combos, it requires precision and quick judgements.
With 8 stages of carefully crafted platforming and intricate boss fights, Violet Wisteria will present just the right challenge for those looking for a fresh take on a tried and true genre. Immerse yourself in the 16 bit aesthetic and remember a time when video games were pure magic.
