Description

Aeolis Tournament is a 3D party action game where up to 8 players compete in various game modes based on a simple one-button mechanic. Characters use an air cannon to control the power of the wind and affect their surroundings. It's a high-tempo game in the vein of Fusion Frenzy with a Nintendo-inspired cartoony and colorful art direction.

​

Aeolis Tournament features physics-based gameplay, a tournament mode and local and online multiplayer play.

​

The game is currently under development in the Unity engine and is expected to be released in February 2020 on Steam and April 2020 Nintendo Switch. A port is also in the plans for the PlayStation 4 and XboxOne.

Features

  • Unique Mechanic : The core of the gameplay is based on a simple one-button mechanic. Characters hold an air cannon that allows them to vacuum air in and release it as a blast. It can be used in various ways: pushing an opponent, grabbing, holding and throwing items as projectiles, navigating on slippery surfaces by giving yourself a push, etc...

​

  • Easy to Learn, Hard to Master : Meant as a friendly competitive experience, everyone will be able to enjoy themselves playing Aeolis Tournament. However, skills matter. Games are skill-based, varied and deep enough so that while the main mechanic is shared between each modes, the skills and strategy required are wildly different.

​

  • Tournament Mode : The heart of the game is the tournament mode where players will compete in a succession of games earning tournament ranking points after each of them. Whoever has the most points after the set number of games wins the Tournament. And bragging rights.

​

  • Additional Features:

    • A configurable experience, local or online

    • Different chaos events in each game modes

    • Destructible and interactive environment

    • Power-ups

    • Stats

    • Vast controller support on PC
