Since the launch of the Momodora series way back in 2010, it has become a bit of a cult classic in the eyes of many, gathering up a huge number of fans as the series progressed through the original, Momodora II, Momodora III and Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. Now though it’s time to move things up a notch, with the release of Minoria – the spiritual successor to that franchise. 

Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Minoria has once again been created by the team at Bombservice with those at DANGEN Entertainment helping push it out to the gaming masses. Working as a bit of a sequel to the Momodora series, those who have found themselves drawn in previously will no doubt love what is delivered here, with many aspects and gameplay elements being passed across – all with a bit of a modern day twist on proceedings. 

Priced at £16.74, the story behind Minoria has been inspired by that of medieval Europe, taking place during the fourth Witch War. It is here where we find Sisters Semilla and Fran attempting to put a halt to the latest witch ceremony in the hope that they can burn down heresy once and for all. 

How this plays out is up to you, but you can be sure that the action platforming elements, the mix of 2D hand painted backgrounds and the glorious cel-shaded characters will continue to push forward what Bombservice previously released. With a multitude of spells in hand, and the need to hone some fighting skills whilst mixing in swordplay, and there should well be enough here with the launch of Minoria to keep all fans happy. 

“Minoria marked the first time I’ve worked on a game set in a new universe in a long time. It felt like a breath of fresh air! That said, Minoria does contain some similarities with my previous projects, especially Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. I really hope console players will enjoy the story and characters we’ve prepared in Minoria.” says rdein, lead game designer for Bombservice.

Features include:

  • A powerful fantasy story inspired by the history of medieval Europe
  • A unique visual aesthetic combining hand-painted 2D art with cel-shading
  • Fluid controls encouraging careful engagement and patient play
  • Combat enabling players to crush enemies with a mix of swordplay and spells
  • Defensive options including dodge-rolls and parries
  • A leveling system that helps players adjust to their desired difficulty

Sold? Get over to the Xbox Store, the PlayStation Store or the Nintendo eShop right now. We’re sure you won’t want to miss this one. Keep an eye out for our review of Minoria on Xbox One too. It’s coming very soon.

Game Description:

Ink and blood stain the streets of Ramezia. Witches must burn and sins must be judged. Venture forth as Sister Semilla to burn down the pillars of heresy in Minoria, an action-platformer by the creators of Momodora. The story takes place during the fourth Witch War. It is a time of fanatical religious fervor. The Sacred Office, a powerful organization leading an Inquisition against heresy, purges the sinners who threaten humanity. Those responsible for conducting a mysterious ceremony that contradicts the rules of the Church are labeled “witches.” Now, Sisters Semilla and Fran, missionaries in the Church’s service, set out to thwart the witches’ ceremony and protect the common-folk from heresy that endangers the status quo. Minoria is the latest and most ambitious game from Bombservice and a spiritual sequel to the Momodora series. Fans of Momodora will find familiar aspects in the design and gameplay elements, as they master the ins-and-outs of parries, dodges, and a variety of different spells. Now in HD format, with aesthetics mixing 2D hand-painted backgrounds and cel-shaded characters, Minoria continues Bombservice’s legacy on consoles.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
