Gheldia

Gheldia is a 16-bit inspired 2-D Adventure RPG. You journey as Lor to the Isle of Aria in search of a terrifying Beast Lord released during the Black Awakening. Lor is a "Slayer", a special brand of mercenary with the ability to harness monster power and use it to turn the tide of battle. You must guide Lor through the dangers of the island to unlock the Serpentine Spire where the final showdown will take place. Do you have what it takes to become a legendary Slayer?

Lor is armed with several weapons that can be used in combat along with interacting with the environment. Depending on what you bring into a level you can take alternate routes through it along with discovering exits to secret levels. You can journey across the island in almost any order tackling levels as you see fit. You can customize the abilities you have by embedding Shards into your equipment. These can be found or crafted using monster materials that drop from slain enemies. Slaying enemies increases your Beast Mastery which gives you bonus loot, opens up pages in the Bestiary, and awards you bonus damage.
