Our take on Imprisoned Light
The dramatic kingdom-saving premise suggests a broad fantasy campaign, while the actual play centers on feeding crystals with enemy souls and stopping monsters in discrete levels. Local co-op can also turn an unprotected crystal into a forced fight between players.
What is Imprisoned Light?
Imprisoned Light is an action RPG about defending a kingdom’s light crystals from demons and other monsters.
Each level contains at least one crystal that must be supplied with souls collected from defeated enemies. A level is completed after all its crystals are saved; additional crystals become immune once protected. The game includes 5 worlds, 50 levels, randomly generated level layouts, 5 playable characters with distinct special powers, 18 throwable weapons, potions, and power-ups. Local co-op supports revival through collected souls. If crystals are not protected, a demon can select a victim and force players into a fight against one another.
