Tower of Drakoria

Your world was suddenly turned upside down. Disappearance after disappearance filled the news. Your friends and family suddenly vanished, leaving nothing behind. With the disappearances increasing, then started to become a normal part of your life. However, you always kept hope. They would be back, and you wouldn't be the next to disappear. After all, you've grown increasingly cautious and protective to keep yourself safe.

But one day, you close your eyes in your room one last time as you awake in a world unlike your own. You found yourself in a vast land straight out of a video game called Drakoria. Gods, Monsters, and many different Races inhabited this world of sword and magic. Unsure of what to do, you ventured onwards to learn more. Eventually, you discover that you had been transported to this world, and that the disappearances in your old one were all people being transported into this world for an unknown reason. While being in this fantasy world was quite the experience, ultimately no feeling prevailed more than the feeling of wanting to return home.

Days and months passed as your trained amongst the best the land has to offer, honing your skills in both the sword and magic, all in hopes of finding a way home. Your research led you to the Drakoria's famous tower, where upon clearing it, you would be granted a meeting with the gods and the ability to request and ask whatever you want.

Thus, it was time to take off. The path to the top would not be easy, however it was a necessary step in your journey. You entered the tower with one goal in mind: find your friends who are also in the tower, reach the top, and return home.

It's time to climb the Tower of Drakoria.

Inspired by behemoths of the Bullet Heaven genre such as Vampire Survivors, HoloCure - Save the Fans!, and many others, Tower of Drakoria is a 2D Pixel-Art Fantasy bullet heaven game. Explore the various floors of the Tower of Drakoria with the goal of surviving long enough to beating the boss of each floor and clear it. Unleash devastating attacks and make use of protective skills to aid you in battle, gaining or upgrading skills when leveling up to fill up your spellbook.

A CLASSIC BULLET HEAVEN.
Tower of Drakoria provides a classic bullet heaven experience that is easy to get into. While things may start out calm and collected, things will quickly get chaotic! With three different enemies all with different stats alongside a boss enemy with their own special abilities, you need to do everything you can to survive.

LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD OF DRAKORIA.
Follow along with the narrative in the game, learning more about the world of Drakoria and yourself through pieces of lore dropped alongside skills, meeting old friends and fellow adventurers in the tower, and more more! Who knows, perhaps an encounter with some people will grant you some special power?

LEVEL UP AND POWER UP.
Fight the monsters that occupy the floors of the Tower. Defeat them and pick up their EXP gems to charge up your spellbook. Once you reach a new level, pick and choose between gaining a new ability or upgrading an existing one. Be careful! Some spells can only be upgraded so many times, and upgrading them past their limit does nothing!
