Deadly traps and villainous enemies await you for Magrath knows you are coming, and he will not make things easy for you!

History

Tiny Trinket Games started developing Azuran Tales: Trials in November 2017 from the idea of returning to the roots of platformer gameplay, not as much in terms of graphics as in terms of gameplay, in terms of how playing a game made the player feel. The intention was to return to that feeling of accomplishment that we've had upon finishing a level or defeating a boss as well as the surprise of discovering new levels and new environments as the story progresses. Having started on the path of Azuran Tales with our ongoing RPG project, The Outpost, currently in development, the decision was made to expand on the universe with the story of Trials. The story for Azuran Tales: Trials is totally independent but adds unique depth and insights into the universe of Azuran Tales. We decided to focus on a complete story, following the trials of Merius, a Battle Cleric - the main story of the game, and add additional classes and story lines later.

Features

  • A modern take on the classic side-scrolling gameplay;
  • Deadly gameplay: 15 handcrafted and increasingly difficult levels where you encounter deadly mechanics and increasingly powerful traps. Engage in nerve-shattering battles with split-second reaction speed. Face the trials and follow Magrath’s path in the world of Azuran and beyond;
