2D side-scrollers aren’t dead. That’s what developer Zatun looks to prove with the soon to be completed Legend of Vraz. Hailing from India, the game features lush hand-painted artwork and a classic storyline. Zatun announced that the PC game will possibly take around six to nine hours to beat, thus equaling that of many console games.
Players control the protagonist Vraz who aims to win the hand of Princess Avi, but only after he proves his worth to her father by completing a series of tasks. These consist of:
- Earning 100,000 coins or equivalent gold for the wedding on your own
- Finding the biggest and the brightest red rose
- Finding a diamond studded heart
- Finding the traditional sword
- Finding a traditional horse
Unfortunately, the Vizier of Kund, who lusts for the princess and her kingdom, plans to cockblock the mission, and thus fulfills the required villainous role. Seems like a pretty cool game so far in terms of storyline, and rather Prince of Persia-like.
Other features include forgiving gameplay that provides a unique player experience by encouraging and testing the player’s skills simultaneously, characters with their own distinct A.I., 14 different enemies, 15 stages with 4 distinct locations, an immersive soundtrack, and 5 different upgradable arrows (Vraz’ weapon of choice). Gamers have the ability to control the prince with both the mouse and keyboard, mouse only, or keyboard only depending upon their preferences.
