'Mandragora' Is A Dark Fantasy Action/RPG For Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox X|S And PC - Screens & Trailer

Mandragora is a story-driven Metroidvania style side-scroller action RPG set in a hopeless, painterly dark fantasy universe.

Mandragora is a story-driven, side-scroller action RPG set in a universe of gorgeous paint strokes and inevitable tragedy.

In Mandragora, mankind has surrendered the world to the monsters. People hide away behind walls of brick and palisades of ignorance, constructed by their leaders. Joy and delight are coveted jewels, out of reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and take it back.

Journey through a world in decline, slowly falling prey to the damaging effects of Entropy. Fight against vicious enemies, challenge unique, deadly bosses, meet new allies, enemies, and every shade in-between, and make harsh moral choices. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours.


Istvan Zsuffa, Creative Director at Primal Game Studio said “Mandragora is a genre-blending mix of everything we love about our favourite games, which made it a challenge to find the right publisher who understands our vision for a title that doesn't fit into just one box. That's why we're so glad to be working with Marvelous Europe to help bring our game to the players on all their favourite platforms. We're thankful for all the fan support so far and can't wait to continue this journey together!"

“We’re thrilled to bring Primal Game Studio’s vision to the world.” added Marc Melton, Managing Director at Marvelous Europe. “Mandragora is a fantastic project, with huge potential, marking a new step in how we work with development studios and we’re excited to have found such great partners.”
