Back story:

   While Rhulan has been gone from Aesperia, time has moved slowly relative to where she has been. A mere 150-200 years have passed, however that has been enough time for technology to be mostly lost and an agrarian society of vastly spread out people across the world to take root. An alien force, the Stingers, have discovered this land and enslaved the none-unified masses with little resistance. They take mates from the masses and demand harvested goods. Rhulan will have none of these as she heads out to beat back these aliens and unify the world.

 

 

Characters:

   Rhulan: Now a full-fledged sorceress with crazy powers and crazy fast moves. She is going to kick some alien ass.

 

Gameplay:

   A 2-D sidescroller adventure game in the same class as classic games like Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Strider. The player controls Rhulan, as she moves from the left side of the screen too the right side fighting enemies, collecting power-ups, health items, and saving people. She has fast crazy moves like punches, kicks, spinning and slashing with her cape (Dimension Edge), as well as summoning various swords and powers (selected between stages of each level on the overworld map before entering a stage). Possible weapons include, Lightning Katana, Fire Sword, Runic Sword, Seraphim Sword, Hell’s Heart Sword, and The Thousand Year Sword.

   As stated in Setting, the player selects stages on the overworld map of each level finding a path from the left side too the right side. On the far right they will find the Stinger Base which has a boss inside it.

   The Stingers are primarily bee, wasp, ant, and hornet themed humanoid and none-humanoid aliens with cybernetics and technology available to them. The basic enemies being drone robots and none-humanoid insects of these themes. The Humanoids tend to be stronger enemies and the bosses.
