Light Devourer: dash through the dark and devour the light

Light Devourer is a pixel-art soulslike action RPG about a confused creation that wakes deep underground and sets out through crystal caverns, lush forests, a grim thunder castle, and the void among the stars. Combat is fast and built around dashing, stacking Dark Energy, and letting off Rage Shocks, with weapons and emblems to find and light energy to absorb into your build. The world is interconnected, and the pixel art is intricate and hand-drawn. Windows and macOS, with full controller support.

The combat can feel responsive, with telegraphed attacks and a dodge that can feel generous, and the map can hide secrets worth lingering for. A controller may not work despite the full-controller-support label. Save-corruption and skirmish-trigger issues have been patched since launch. It's still early going, so treat this as a tentative pick.
