Here is an overview of the game:
Ink and blood stain the streets of Ramezia. Witches must burn and sins must be judged. Venture forth as Sister Semilla to burn down the pillars of heresy in Minoria, an action platformer by Bombservice, creators of Momodora.
Minoria is the latest and most ambitious game from Bombservice, and a spiritual sequel to the Momodora series, from the same studio. Fans of Momodora will find familiar aspects in the design and gameplay elements, as they master the ins-and-outs of parries, dodges, and a variety of different spells. The presentation has evolved to an HD format, with aesthetics mixing 2D hand-painted backgrounds and cel-shaded characters.
Minoria’s release represents Bombservice’s first exclusive release with Dangen Entertainment and the studio’s fifth game, providing fans of the Momodora series a spiritual sequel after Minoria was first announced at Tokyo Game Show 2018.
