Demonic Stones is a 2D top-down pixel art rogue-like, inspired by classic MMORPG vibes — especially as an homage to the legendary Metin2.
The game aims to capture that nostalgic feeling of battling through enemy hordes, breaking cursed stones, and uncovering secrets in a mystical world.
This is a passion project currently in its very early development phase.
At the heart of the game are the Demonic Stones — mysterious, glowing rocks that corrupt the land and spawn waves of enemies until destroyed.
The goal is to create a gameplay loop reminiscent of old-school MMORPG grinding, but wrapped in rogue-like mechanics and procedural elements.
- Pixel art style with a modern rogue-lite twist
- Enemies spawn from stone obelisks that must be destroyed
- Fast-paced action with random drops and item collection
- Permadeath + respawn system with progress-saving anchors
- Top-down 2D combat and movement
- Procedural enemy spawning through demonic stone mechanics
- Respawn system with "return to last death" or "return home" functionality
- More to come (skills, loot, dungeon systems, etc.):
- Godot Engine 4.4+
- GDScript
- LimboAI Plugin
- PhantomCamera Plugin
- A* Navigation, Behavior Trees, Signal-based systems, etc.
