Sword: Depths of the Void

About

Sword: Depths of the Void is a 2D action RPG platformer where you play as Trent Helms, a newcomer to a world split by a mysterious purple rift. The core hook is a sword that shifts its blade into tools like bows, hammers, or spears, letting you switch tactics mid-fight or solve environmental puzzles. You navigate open areas, team up with allies, and explore a floating town while chasing a story about sealing the Void. Combat mixes platformer timing with RPG upgrades, and the art style leans into glowing crystals and stark void visuals. The sword’s morphing mechanic stands out for its flexibility, letting players adapt to threats or traversal challenges. Co-op play adds teamwork depth, though it’s not mandatory. With release planned for June 2025 on PC, Xbox, and mobile, it targets a broad audience. Early community chatter highlights the sky town’s design and the pacing of Trent’s quest, though some note the story beats feel familiar. Cross-platform play and a focus on accessible 2D action make it a mid-2025 indie contender.

Storyline

"The Void has opened again. You see that purple rift in the sky?" - Tiela Thorn Our main character, Trent Helms, was walking down his well-known trail, and had reached the end of it- a cliff, outlooking the wonders of Amethyst Valley. While Trent was looking out on this cliff, a quick explosion startled him. A strange sword inside a stone had appeared behind him... as it flew straight towards his hands. Trent was confused. His vision began to darken for a few seconds. He felt as if he was traveling at lightspeed. Suddenly... he ended up in a whole new world. Crystal Depths. A place only for those who have been given the Spectral Sword, a sword that can morph its blades into glowing blue objects, like a bow or hammer, or even a spear. Trent had obtained this sword... but he has yet to know that this sword gives the user a quest. A quest to close the Void once more.
