Twilight Monk is a 2D action metroidvania-RPG based on the Twilight Monk series, which spans a variety of media including novels and comics. The series was originally developed by Trent Kaniuga, a character designer and concept artist who has worked on renowned titles such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and Diablo 3. Set in a fantastical world depicted through hand-drawn illustrations, the game offers an epic narrative and combines a sprawling overworld map with 2D side-scrolling in an exploration-based 2D action RPG. Embracing the classic metroidvania genre, it offers a high degree of freedom during exploration, alongside RPG-style interactions and level-up elements centered around maps leading to dungeons and hubs. Players can also unleash diverse combat actions using their unique weapon, the “Phantom Pillar.”
