Game Concept #2: Soul Reaper

Soul Reaper

Introduction:

Soul Reaper is a third person hack and slash game set in a twisted world full of death and despair.

Background:

What happens when we die? This is the eternal question asked by everyone in the living world, what they don't know is there is actually a place for spirits to rest, depending on how you lived your life in the mortal world.

Within the depths of hell is where all the evil spirits spend their eternal damnation, but what happens when the spirits resist? Hell is spilling over into the spirit phase of the mortal world and causing chaos, paranormal activity and poltergeists are destabilising the fine balance between worlds.

You are one of Hells most feared soul reapers, and you have been called, to restore order.

Description:

Playing as a nightmarish soul reaper, Shin. You are sent into the mortal world to restore balance and send the evil souls back down to hell by force.

By any means necessary you will hack and slash your way through everything, upgrading you weapons and learning new techniques and abilities as you progress, you must find out who is giving these souls the strength to resist hells fury and fight back against the soul reapers.

Key features:

Highly Customisable - Your soul reapers looks are highly customisable with insignias, a wide range of colours, you can also customise and chose your starting weapon/armour before you get started.

Online battle arenas - Completed the game? Still want more excitement, with a new online feature you can battle other soul reapers 1v1 to level up your online rank using our fair match making system based on your level.

Specialisation - As you clear through waves of spirits your soul reaper will gain levels allowing you to specialise, making you more unique, whether you choose to melee foes dual wielding or blast them away using magic, or chose to be a defensive juggernaut.

Online Co-Op - A great feature is the co-op story mode allowing you to finish the game with a friend, but also, team up with up to 8 players in our special mode challenges to take down the biggest, baddest spirits around.

Upgrades - As you gain more levels you have more access to bigger and better weapons, armour and magic scrolls, these will have requirements depending on how you chose to specialise.

Mechanics:

Counter attacking - If you block at the correct time in game, your soul reaper will perform a counter attack, blocking and returning a small amount of damage and gaining Soul power.

Soul smash - Once your soul power is full, you can release a devastating soul smash, one that is chosen by each soul reaper depending on how they're specialised.
