Alwa's Awakening & Cathedral (Evercade #27)

The Alwa's Awakening & Cathedral dual cartridge collection brings together two of the most acclaimed modern indie retro titles for the Evercade platform. Published by Blaze Entertainment, this release features Alwa’s Awakening 8-bit Edition from Elden Pixels, delivering classic adventure-platforming action that rewards exploration and magical mastery. Joining it is Cathedral, a sprawling world of secrets developed by Decemberborn. Notably, Cathedral stands as the first native Evercade game, having been rebuilt specifically for the platform to ensure optimal performance. Together, these two titles provide over 60 hours of deep gameplay, making this a substantial addition to any physical game collection.

Alwa’s Awakening invites you to use a magical staff to solve environmental puzzles and defeat bosses across a vast, interconnected map. It captures the authentic feel of 8-bit gaming while providing modern refinements to the genre's formula. On the same cartridge, Cathedral offers a vast world to map out, filled with over 600 rooms to explore. You play as a nameless protagonist in a world that blends traditional challenging combat with the intricate level design of classic questing games. The combination of these two experiences ensures a diverse range of challenges, from precision jumping to tactical resource management, all rendered in beautiful pixel art that honours the aesthetics of the past.

This Evercade Dual Cart is designed to work seamlessly across the entire Evercade ecosystem, including the Handheld, Evercade VS, Evercade VS-R, Evercade EXP, Evercade EXP-R, Evercade Alpha, and Super Pocket consoles. To ensure the best possible experience, this cartridge is intended for devices running the most recent firmware. Please note that compatibility issues may occur with devices running version 1.2 or lower, so updating your device via the official Evercade website is recommended.
