Lycanthorn

About

Lycanthorn casts you as Rain, a vampire hunter with a werewolf’s edge. Splat through 8 levels of gothic platforms, mixing precise jumps with brutal melee strikes against fangs and claws. Each stage blends sidescrolling combat with tight platforming, as you climb toward Carmilla’s lair. The controls snap, the action pops, and the 3D environments keep the Metroidvania vibes fresh without the bloat. At under five hours, it’s a brisk romp with a culty charm. The community flags its sharp difficulty spikes but praises the punchy combat and moody art style. Best played in one go if you crave retro-inspired action without modern polish. A quick hit for those who miss the bite of old-school side-scrollers.

Storyline
