    This NES style adventure game (homage to Metroid and Castlevania) with RPG elements, is coming to iOS next Spring. Its developed by Levels or Lives.

    Crystal Catacombs is an exploration based action platformer that incorporates challenging roguelike mechanics combined within a multitude of unique and unpredictable procedurally generated (random) dungeons.

    The game includes dozens of different items, weapons, spells, enemies and bosses. It will also feature a customizable inventory and a stat based character upgrade system.

    Features:

    Procedurally generated dungeons with randomly chosen room layouts, enemies, special items, treasures and even bosses. No two experiences will ever be the same.

    -Seven different Crystal Realms (levels) to explore. Each with their own unique enemies, traps, hazards, treasures and bosses.

    -Encounter and fight over 20 different bosses and dozens of varying enemies.

    -Discover over 20 Magical Artifacts that can be equipped and used to grant new abilities, such as a the Double Jump Boot, Dragon Armor, Crystal Skull and Grapple Spikes.

    -Collect and choose from several different weapon classes including swords, whips, axes and bows. Each class also has different variations of each weapon type.

    -Unleash an assortment of powerful magic spells ranging from fireballs to summoning powerful creatures to help aid you in battle.

    -Gain experience points to level up and ultimately become a force of glorified and unadulterated power!

    Even though Josh and his crew are publishing the game, I'm sure they also lend help in developing and providing creative direction for the game.

    I wonder when we will see this in the iPhone App Store. My hopes are so high for crescent moon games right now they have so much on their plate. I just hope that mines of mars, crystal catacombs, and wayward saga are all I expected and more. I'm too excited ever since I had to sell my consoles I been a iPhone gamer heavy and I'm extremely excited this year for those titles and a few more that aren't cresent games

    Awesome. Are we looking at traditional virtual buttons for controls? Or something similar to Shadow Blade?
