About Onslaught

Onslaught is a side-scrolling action game where the player controls a warrior aiming to seize territories. The primary challenge involves navigating platforming sections while engaging in combat against numerous opponents.

Progress is structured around a multi-phase objective: first traversing an exterior route to a castle, then ascending its interior, and finally confronting the current occupant. The journey is challenging, with environmental hazards like mines to avoid along the way.

Gameplay systems include separate gauges for tracking physical and mental energy, both of which require management. A selection of collectible spells is available, accessible during play through dedicated function keys.
