Sin Slayers is a turn-based strategy about sins and sinners with elements of dungeon crawler and pixel art graphics. The game will provide you a roster of 12 heroes, each with his/her own story, unique specialization and battle abilities. You will build your team of three and send them to fight seven deadly sins, depicted as dreadful and ruthless monsters: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sorrow, Greed, Gluttony and Lust. Each of those sins rule their own realm, so every location that players will visit will differ from others. Same with creatures, that inhabit these lands. Furthermore, these locations will be procedurally generated every time you play to provide you with a new experience. In this game, we tried to take several interesting game mechanics and ideas from various games and unify them. We were inspired by Final Fantasy‘s battle system, Castlevania‘s visual style and Dark Souls‘ atmosphere.
