'Battle Princess Madelyn' (ALL) Scheduled for Later This Fall - Screens & Trailer

Battle Princess Madelyn is a game that follows Madelyn, a young knight in training, and her ghostly pet dog Fritzy, out on a journey to save her kingdom and her family from the clutches of an evil wizard.

Set in the vein of classic Ghouls N' Ghosts and Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap, the classic and familiar gameplay will transport old-school gamers back to their heyday, and the self-adjusting difficulty will allow for even the most novice of gamer to pick up and play!

Although Battle Princess Madelyn takes place primarily in a fictitious version of medieval Ireland, the game will, through obtaining a magical device, require Madelyn to be able to travel to other parts of the globe. Madelyn will meet her other grandparents in a snowy mountainside in Russia and do what she does best, save their village! Fight hordes of monsters in Spain, alongside a very special game cameo character. She will also tackle a possessed toy maker’s creation in Italy, and even save a girl to be sacrificed to appease a huge, lumbering monster in Germany.

Throughout the story, Madelyn will be taken on a journey of self-discovery. A somewhat self-assured princess is humbled by her dilemma and surroundings. As she helps more and more people, albeit reluctantly at first, she soon realizes that her journey to save her family isn't just about that, or about her, it's about helping people around her as well and that sometimes no matter how hard you try, not everything you seek is obtainable and that and that sometimes, no matter how hard you may try, not everything you seek is obtainable...

Join Madelyn as she battles through graveyards, swamps, castles, the countryside and more! Polished gameplay, breath taking visuals, jaw-dropping dual soundtracks and epic adventures await!


Battle Princess Madelyn is now set for release this fall with the exact release day to be announced VERY shortly.

"From its initial concept days, right through the successful Kickstarter campaign which reached over $212,665 CAD, until its imminent release, Battle Princess Madelyn has developed and grown from inspiration from feedback from my daughter, who inspired the original idea, gamers and ideals from the very best of classic retro games fused with modern presentation complete with gameplay and fun. I believe all our goals have been achieved with much much more added ingredients, features and elements that will have gamers engaged in a game that has been crafted with real planning, dedication and, a lot of love.", Christopher Obritsch - Causal Bit Games.
