Tevi

About

Tevi is an action-packed metroidvania with bullet-hell combat and deep RPG elements. You play as a clever engineer navigating a fractured world, using rapid dashes and precise attacks to clear waves of enemies. The game blends fast platforming with skill tree customization, letting you tailor your playstyle for each challenge. Boss battles demand both reflexes and strategy while exploration reveals interconnected areas filled with secrets and lore. The game’s setting stands out with its mix of magic and machinery across five distinct regions, each with unique visuals and threats. Developer GemaYue previously made the cult-favorite Rabi-Ribi, and Tevi expands on that formula with tighter controls and riskier combat. Since release on November 29, 2023, it’s drawn praise for its aggressive difficulty curve and creative world design. Players on forums note the satisfying balance between skill and progression, though the dense story may require multiple playthroughs to unpack fully.

Storyline

Welcome to Az, where our adventure begins. This sprawling continent is full of myth and magic, and is home to three main races: magic-wielding humans, animal-eared beastkin, and bio-mechanical hybrids called magitech. Az's unique blend of magical and technological advancements has shaped its long and storied past, from ancient civilizations to modern societies. However, conflicts between factions have scarred the land and its people. Despite this, the vast geography and diverse biomes of Az are teeming with life, both friendly and hostile. Situated across the continent are five major cities: The palatial city of Ana Thema has long been the seat of human power, while the beastkin toil in the industrial hub of Morose. Beyond them lies the frozen tundra of Snowveil, the towering spires of Valhalla in the sky, and the dark depths of Tartarus. Each place in Az has its own secrets, mysteries, and stories to tell. The heroine of the story, Tevi is a self-proclaimed genius engineer who sets out on a journey with her companions to uncover the truth about Astral Cogs, in order to assist her father's research.
