Vosaria: Lair of the Forgotten

About

Vosaria: Lair of the Forgotten is a side-scrolling action game where you swing a pump shotgun through levels teeming with hostile creatures. Each level demands quick reflexes as you duck, dodge, and blast enemies while navigating tight platforms. A key mechanic lets you vault onto ceilings to gain height and line of sight, turning the battlefield into a vertical space. The controls feel responsive but the pacing can get frantic during waves of attackers. Developed by indie creator Johnny Ostad and released in 2019, the game leans into retro 2D design with a focus on fast combat. It runs smoothly on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, though the lack of multiplayer or post-launch content keeps it niche. Player feedback highlights the creative use of verticality but notes some level design feels repetitive. A quick 5-7 hour run for fans of old-school side-scrollers with a modern twist.
