Artilerry F

Artilerry F is a 2D platform and action game that follows the gameplay of Castlevania and Metroid, and allows you to explore lots of levels while fighting enemies and finding new powers.

The game's story puts you in the role of Artilerry F, a young woman who travels to the mystical mountains in search of power. In theory, this power is her birthright, and so as you progress through the game, defeating enemies and gaining experience, you can go up a level and gain new powers.

You don’t just have to jump from platform to platform and fight enemy robots in the mountains; you can also talk to other friendly characters, buy objects, use potions, and ultimately manage your inventory.

It's also vital that you learn to use the new spells you find, as some of the more advanced enemies in the game cannot be killed with normal attacks alone.

Artilerry F is an outstanding Metroidvania developed with GameMaker. The anime styling and meticulous graphics, together with its gameplay, put it on the same level as games like Cave Story.
