Twilight Monk Brings Metroidvania Action to PC and Switch on March 26

Twilight Monk, a metroidvania-inspired action RPG based on the graphic novel series, is set to launch on March 26 for PC and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Ethereal Expanse, the game blends hand-drawn visuals, challenging combat, and RPG exploration across an expansive world filled with dungeons, towns, and ancient secrets.

A Dark World in Need of a Hero

The land of Speria has fallen into darkness. Monsters roam freely, and desperate survivors seek refuge in the Moonken Monastery on Crescent Isle. Playing as Raziel Tenza, a descendant of the Twilight Monks, you must wield the mysterious Phantom Pillar to battle corrupted creatures, navigate perilous dungeons, and recover the lost Three Rings of the Triskelion.

But danger isn’t just lurking in the shadows—betrayal brews among the monks themselves. With time running out, Raziel must stop the traitor Nox before the land is lost forever.

Metroidvania Exploration with RPG Depth

Twilight Monk combines interconnected dungeon-crawling with a sprawling overworld, giving players the freedom to explore, uncover secrets, and grow stronger. The Phantom Pillar, a massive stone artifact, serves as both a weapon and a tool, allowing for creative platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat strategies.

Whether smashing enemies, blocking attacks, or activating ancient mechanisms, the Phantom Pillar is the key to survival.
