Prepare for a retro-inspired onslaught in Alfelus, a modern indie title that channels the spirit of 1980s arcade classics. The game casts you as the titular hero, tasked with defending against an unending tide of enemies.

Your arsenal is simple yet effective: a trusty sword, your own sharp wits, potent magic artifacts, and the invaluable support of up to three friends in local cooperative multiplayer.

Alfelus offers a unique control scheme where movement and sword attacks are handled independently, both in eight directions. This allows for a dynamic combat experience, especially when utilizing the sword's two advanced techniques.

One lets you hurl your blade like a boomerang, while the other enables a special maneuver. The game embraces its arcade roots with vibrant pixel graphics and fast-paced action, aiming to recapture that classic, addictive gameplay loop.
