RED Skautfold: Usurper

Usurper is a sequel to Shrouded in Sanity. However, knowledge of the first game is not required, as it is the second installment in the Skautfold game series.

Usurper is a Metroidvania action RPG. After the otherworldly citadel has unleashed eerie horrors, your task is to free London from its terrors. Utilize the new "Guard" system, which rewards skillful play and precision, to uncover the massive structure and defeat the nightmares lurking within.

The combat system in Usurper is based on the "Guard" system, allowing players to advance through attacks and take risks, with precise timing and risk assessment being rewarded. Instead of immediately losing health when hit, the player loses "Guard Points" (which function like a regeneration shield). Once these are depleted, the player takes normal damage. However, if the player successfully dodges incoming attacks with precision, they convert a significant portion of that attack damage into "Guard Points," allowing them to turn the tide in battle and gain the upper hand. This is a system that enables anyone to engage with the game while still offering a high skill ceiling for those seeking a challenge.
