#PHOENOTOPIA AWAKENING SWITCH PLUS#

I had fairy tales and a much more humble thing in mind when it started. Quang: It started out as a flash tutorial project for myself.

W: I’m Will, aka sillythewilly, aka the composer! What inspired you to make Phoenotopia: Awakening? Anna had the nice idea to make the A in “Cape Cosmic” a red triangle, to represent a mountain at the end of the universe.Ī: I’m Annamária Klimkovič, and I was the lead artist for Phoenotopia – both the flash version, and PHO:A! I worked as an artist for several other indie games before, but PHO:A is the first one I worked on full-time. I’ve never been there, but I think the name sounds cool. It’s been painful.Īs for the name, Cape Cosmic, I like starry imagery, and I also like the name “Cape Cod”. I quit my job as a programmer, took what savings I had, moved back to my parents’ house, then spent 7 years doing game development. Read how Phoenotopia was developed, how long it took and how this affected their work-life balance over the years! Chilling in Phoenotopia The People Behind Cape Cosmic Tell us about yourself and your studio, and what’s behind the name Cape Cosmic? Meet programmer Quang Tran, lead artist Annamária Klimkovič and composer Will. The interview was such a fun read, that I just had to share a part of it with all of you. We just couldn’t resist to find out more about how this game came, so we set up an interview for our Patrons (in Tier 2 and Tier 3). There is a lot to this game that is guaranteed to keep you entertained and pushing forward in the story, especially at its price point. Keep your eyes peeled for this game, because Phoenotopia: Awakening is not a game you want to miss! The first one we published was from Cape Cosmic, the developer studio behind the lovely game Phoenotopia: Awakening! Emily reviewed the game for us ( find her review here) and she said in her conclusion:

For a 30 plus hour RPG, this is surely a steal for anyone’s money.In our Patreon Page, we publish an Indie Dev Interview for our Patrons. If you’re smart and get in quick, though, there’s a 10% launch discount available until January 28th, meaning you’ll get quite a lot of game for £13.49. If you fancy picking this title up over on the Steam store it’ll set you back £14.99, which isn’t bad. Phoenotopia: Awakening is certainly giving you a good amount for your money and it’s not wickedly expensive. You can guarantee these won’t all just be sitting out in the open, so you’ll need to keep those eyes peeled. In Phoenotopia: Awakening, you’ll be hunting down 33 energy gems, 55 heart pieces, and 111 moonstones. As I’ve just said, there is quite a bit here for the completionists amongst you. If you love a good secret, there should be plenty here on this front for you, too. That should be plenty to keep you on your toes and fighting for your life. Expect to pit your wits against a pool of 50 assorted bad guys and an impressive 12 boss battles.

The enemies you’ll face in Phoenotopia: Awakening are as varied as they are mean. To aid you on your journey you’ll be given 10 weapons and tools with which to slay monsters and complete puzzles including rocket boots and the old RPG favorite, the bomb (who doesn’t love a good explosion?).ĭon’t expect this little adventure to be a pushover. The story-driven campaign is massive at 30 hours for a competent run-though or 50 for the completionists amongst you. This is all well and good, but are you going to have a decent amount of bang for your hard-earned buck? Put very simply, the answer appears to be yes. This all revolves around a freely traversable map with those of you who cut your teeth on the JRPGs of old should be happily familiar. These include top-down world exploration, and side-scrolling zones within towns, cities, caves, and other key areas. Phoenotopia: Awakening uses two primary gameplay elements. She doesn’t know the level of the threat when she sets out for her adventure, or the crucial role she is about to play in preserving the very existence of Earth. As the new oldest member of her community, she must set out to solve the mystery. In Phoenotopia: Awakening, you will join Gail, a simple villager who must heed the call to adventure when a great starship appears in the night sky and abducts all the adults. Aside from its RPG elements, this is being classed as an action-adventure, puzzle-platformer inspired by classics of the genre. This RPG from the folks over at Cape Cosmic is interesting because it blends genres. Phoenotopia: Awakening has already garnered some acclaim from its Switch release so you should be fairly safe in the knowledge quite a lot of people out there already like it.
