Our take on Amaranthine

The bounce point is Legend mode: once permanent death becomes part of the run, players who prefer recoverable mistakes may stop there. The procedural level structure may also be a sticking point for anyone expecting a fixed sequence of stages.

What is Amaranthine?

Amaranthine is a side-scrolling shooter set around a journey through warp space to a remote frozen planet responding to a distress signal.

Its levels are generated procedurally, with loot to collect and a broad selection of enemies to fight. Mouse input is used for aiming and control. The game includes an endless mode for continued play and a Legend mode where permanent death applies, making each run carry lasting consequences.
