Cel-shading on a tropical island? Yes indeed; Indie development studio Silent Dreams, of Grotesque Tactics fame, has seen to all the necessary arrangements already, and now all you have to do is shake off the undead maidens blocking your sun in Holy Avatar vs. Maidens of the Dead.
...to get a bit of relaxation after the last great battle, our hero Holy Avatar decides to grab a little R&R with his Guild of Maidens on a Caribbean island he recently purchased and renamed "Holy Island".
Upon arrival on the beach, he makes a gruesome discovery; numerous dead maidens, horribly mutilated, are scattered all over the island and what's worse, they’re not staying dead! Holy Avatar must put down his mai tai and investigate this strange and unsettling turn of events. New adventures, new hazards and, did we mention the zombies… await our hero and his companions inside the dense woods and caves of this once idyllic island.
Here's what this mix or turn-based strategy and RPG brings in with the surf:
• Exciting round-based battles with a wide range of quests
• Ironic and thrilling story with plenty of potshots at well-known movies and video games
• Equally suited for beginners and seasoned RPG gamers
• Character-growth through multiple skill trees
• Colorful, comic-like graphics and a soundtrack with Caribbean flair
• ZOMBIES, lots and lots of zombies!
The developers are also asking for some help, to get the game Greenlighted, which will have them adding full English voice-overs for steamier debut.
This new stand-alone title is otherwise now available for purchase by itself or bundled with the other games in the Grotesque Tactics series here.
