About This Game

Siaty's Return is a challenging slow-paced bossgame inspired by both solo games and MMOs, featuring an innovative combination-based gameplay. Combine the three Facets of destruction, resilience and movement into powerful abilities to defeat your corrupted creations.

Master a deep combination-based gameplay

Siaty wields the 3 Facets of destruction, resilience and movement. In battle, these Facets can either be used separately or merged to create a wide variety of abilities. Long range attack, close range attack, dash forward, backdash, protective shield, teleportation, timed defense, ... Master Siaty's versatility and find your way to overcome whatever is in front of you.

A slow-paced action game focusing on anticipation

Preparing an ability takes time, so you better plan ahead. Reflexes alone won't lead you to victory. But if you observe your enemies well, you will always have the right tool ready at the right time.

Lacks a lot in polish, but the core gameplay is well done. The attack combinations are interesting and just complex enough to not become overwhelming and the boss patterns are interesting. Very nice first game, well done team!

A very nice, very dense little game with huge mechanical depth despite having only 3 basic moves. The story is pretty short but the difficulty curve is pretty steep, you won't get through the second boss by spamming the same simple moves or button mashing. In fact the controls are so unusual I had to stop and practice even doing the most simple stuff, and go back a few times to the tutorial to remember all the move combinations. The bosses impose their own rhythm to their fight that you need to be able to follow. Getting good enough to do that until you finally reach the next phase or boss feels so good. It's great that it has its own little art, universe, cute characters and light-hearted illustrations, and the music was really good. Maybe color-coding the moves would have been interesting, like basic moves would appear in primary colors, and the combinations would appear in secondary colors, or enhanced primary colors for doubles. Just an idea.
