Retro Side Scroller Action RPG. Redefined!

A Solodev Project
Combining much of the old & new school. This is the first official release from Neon Oasis. At this point the game engine build is 88% done. The only thing left is to add all the data and update graphics and music (6-12 months). Depending on initial response (wishlists), a playable demo could be made available, possibly before end of 2023...
