Coming from developer Little Legendary, SHADE Protocol is a 2D cyber-fantasy Metroidvania where music, code, and combat collide.
The events of the game are set n a dying world overtaken by Elythium, a sentient metal that wrought havoc. You play as Zura, a prototype replica that can recompile reality, and her abilities will come in handy during your quest. Navigate the ruins of civilization, master lost technologies, and defy an enemy that has rewritten the fabric of existence itself.
Your abilities allow you to seamlessly switch between DAWN and SHADE models, altering combat styles and gameplay dynamics. Thanks to the Protocols feature, you will be able to encode your own playstyle. Combine protocols and specialized code fragments to alter your attacks, defenses, and abilities, but also recode the world around you at will, changing how it behaves to allow you to overcome the most dangerous threats.
