Description

The Tenth Line is the first commercial game project from Sungazer Software. Guide the princess of the tiny nation of Easania, along with her unusual but reliable companions, and explore a vibrant world of humans, beasts, and dragons, while escaping the clutches of a mysterious cult in hot pursuit.

History

The Tenth Line was produced and developed by one hobbyist game designer, Elliot Mahan, and built in the Unity Engine. Development began in January of 2015, with a release following in the spring of 2017. An enhanced port, The Tenth Line Special Edition, was released for the Nintendo Switch in September 2019.

Features

  • Explore the world through fast-paced 2D platforming by controlling three separate characters, each with unique movement mechanics and ways of interacting with the world.
  • Take on dozens of foes at one time through turn-based RPG battles with an active timing element.
  • High quality background and sprite artwork, and a grand, varied soundtrack.
  • Unique progression and ways to level-up: power up combat moves and set up character-specific specialties through training, and gain levels to spend on the puzzle-like Power Flow board to increase stats and learn new attacks.
  • 12+ hours of gameplay, plus post-game challenges and a New Game Plus mode.
  • Optional story-focused mode that removes most enemy encounters and simplifies platforming to allow a player to quickly experience the entire story.
