Royal Road: Path of Souls is a 2D action RPG that dives into the deep roots of colonial Brazil. Combining frenetic combat, exploration of Baroque-inspired settings, and a narrative-driven experience based on ancestry, the game invites you to uncover the secrets that the mountain mists of Minas Gerais have tried to hide. EXPLORE THE TRAILS OF THE ROYAL ROAD As Father Ezequiel, a survivor marked by a mysterious past, you will travel the Royal Road (Estrada Real) to face a darkness that challenges the Church’s understanding. Use your knowledge of the supernatural to purify corrupted villages and discover the truth about your indigenous, African, and Portuguese origins. MASTER SYNCRETISM AND ANCESTRY Faith is not your only weapon. Combine precise steelwork with powerful rituals and ancestral magic. Choose how to face your enemies: by banishing souls with sacred prayers or tapping into the primal instincts of your roots to survive the perils of the deep wilderness. FACE THE SUPERNATURAL IN MINAS GERAIS A cast of mysterious characters, tormented spirits, and regional folklore entities await you. Interact with the inhabitants of Vila do Rosário Quebrado (Broken Rosary Village), discover stories of ancestral injustices, and decide who deserves salvation and who must face final judgment. BUILT FOR PROGRESSION New challenges arise as you delve deeper into the Path of Souls . Use a progression system based on three pillars— Faith, Strength, and Instinct —to unlock new skills, enhance your attributes, and customize your combat style to face haunted bosses inspired by the legends of Minas Gerais. A JOURNEY FOR EVERYONE With responsive combat mechanics and permanent character upgrades, the game offers a balanced experience for those seeking a great story, yet it won’t hesitate to punish those who underestimate the entities guarding the Royal Road. Test your skills in encounters that demand focus and dexterity. BAROQUE AND MYSTERIOUS ATMOSPHERE Rich visual presentation in detailed pixel art brings Baroque architecture and the landscapes of Minas Gerais to life. An original soundtrack, blending sacred elements and ancestral rhythms, completes the immersion into this "Deep Brazil," where the sacred and the profane walk hand in hand.
