Quantic Dream and Sand Door Studio have announced that Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior will launch for PC on February 13 for $24.99, and from February 13 to 20, it will be available at a launch discount price of $19.99 / €19.99 with a demo available from February 5 to 12 as part of Steam Next Fest: February 2024.
Sand Door Studio director Thibault Legouet stated:
“We’re so proud to finally share Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior with players. It has been an incredible adventure, with the game starting as a student project and evolving into our studio’s first-ever title. Players familiar with hack-and-slash games will find all the aspects they love about the genre, including a heroine battling hordes of enemies. But with the remnant system, which sends players back to the start of arenas at regular intervals with clones repeating their past actions, the game is really tactical. You have to prepare your plan before you execute it, and the straightest path isn’t always the shortest route. We can’t wait to see how players will make the gameplay their own, adapting their skills and tactics, combining different weapons and spell combos, and leveraging their past selves to save the kingdom.”
Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior introduces gamers to the ancient cities of Antala. After half a millennium of peace, a new danger hangs over the realm. Its fate depends on Imë, a mighty warrior gifted with godlike powers that allow her to rewind time in combat to summon clones of herself and protect the New Kingdom from the invasion of an ancient and powerful foe: the Raxes. Controlling Ime and an army of her past selves, players progress through ancient cities to grow Ime’s arsenal of weapons, acquire new spells, and prepare for a much greater threat ahead.
In this tactical hack-and-slash, players experience a thrilling combat system, which allows them to use multiple versions of their past selves to repeat moves they performed during prior iterations of their fights. The game requires players to strategize with themselves to solve puzzles, defeat the Raxes, and help Ime succeed in her quest.
