Dark fantasy adventure inspired by the classics
The Edge of Allegoria is a premium role-playing game for PC from developer Button Factory Games. It's a 2D RPG adventure set in a fantasy world featuring retro 2-bit pixel graphics and a distinct monochromatic color theme that mimics the aesthetics of classic games.
What makes The Edge of Allegoria different from other popular games like Sea of Stars or Chained Echoes is its dark comedy theme that combines humor and mature subject matters in its gameplay and story. The result is a deceptively playful presentation meant for more adult players to enjoy and experience in this demo version.

The best way to describe The Edge of Allegoria is it's a Pokémon game for adults with a twisted sense of humor that mature players will find entertaining and relatable. You play as a self-proclaimed hero named Joe out to vanquish evil from the world. However, with no powers or special abilities and only your dog companion with you, it's an uphill battle from the get-go.
Your journey in this game will start rough but winning tactical turn-based battles will reward you with new skills and equipment as you go along, of which there are more than 80 and 150, respectively. Venture across the vast land of Allegoria as you battle over 150 enemy types and 20-plus bosses. Meet and interact with a wide cast of characters with backstories and quests to take on.
The are 15 main dungeons you can explore in the game in search of loot. However, there are 16 secret dungeons to discover during your journey which hold even more rare treasures to collect. Moreover, this game features a demo version available for free, allowing you to get a taste of the gameplay and mechanics. However, it's important to note that the game is still in active development.
