The Siege and the Sandfox release

The game consists of a 2D stealth Metroidvania, along with parkour platforming. Discover the palace and cavernous depths under an ancient desert city. You need to learn parkour abilities and use cunning and stealth to deal with the different threats in the world. Not only do you have to improve your skills, but you also have to avoid the guards and work together with allies.

Olly Bennett, CEO, Cardboard Sword, said that “We’ve created a uniquely rich pixel art style that feels warm and nostalgic, though distinctly our own. We wanted to create a visually stunning indie pixel-art game, while standing out from what’s already available. Our artists have hand-painted everything from frame-by-frame animations to normal maps on textures, and added extra details, effects, and finishing touches. Our code and design teams have worked tirelessly to achieve 2D in Unreal, giving us its excellent lighting and features to really show off that work. We hope players appreciate the passion and determination rooted in creating The Siege and the Sandfox”.

Cardboard Sword aims to make a Metroidvania formula that brings an atmospheric world, along with technical expertise and proprietary tools.

Continuing, Olly Bennett also said that “Our priority for The Siege and the Sandfox was to create an evocative and meaningful 2D stealth game. It’s been a huge challenge being restricted to those two dimensions, and especially without the ability to kill enemies; we’ve had to play with verticality and clever platforming abilities to turn each encounter into essentially its own puzzle for players to solve. We cannot wait to see how they navigate through our parkour platformer, especially for our enthusiastic and supportive fans who have come along the development journey with us.”

The Siege and the Sandfox is available on Steam for $14.99.
