I\u2019m rdein, lead creator of Minoria and the Momodora series. I\u2019m pleased to say we have finally launched <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/minoria\/9p6m3m3b127p\">Minoria<\/a><\/em><\/strong> on Xbox One \u2014 thank you for your patience!<\/p>\n<p><em>Minoria<\/em> is Bombservice\u2019s latest creation, a side-scrolling action game with a heavy focus on combat and exploration. It\u2019s a game similar in style to my other series, <em>Momodora<\/em>, which was also released on Xbox One a few years ago, however we\u2019ve taken the visuals to a new level with hand-painted backgrounds and cel-shaded characters. Players will have to master the ins and outs of combos, parrying, dodge rolls and magic attacks to progress through the game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Screenshot-01.jpg?w=940&amp;resize=1920%2C1080\" alt=\"Minoria\" class=\"wp-image-142766\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In <em>Minoria<\/em>, you play as Sister Semilla, a young woman working as a nun during a war against witchcraft that is ravaging the land of Ramzia. Together with her companion, Sister Fran, they must set out and do battle against a group of heretics known as Witches, discover their purpose, and uncover the dark secrets of the war.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Screenshot-02.jpg?w=940&amp;resize=1920%2C1080\" alt=\"Minoria\" class=\"wp-image-142767\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>As usual for the games I develop, the latest installment features some new ideas to spice up the experience and present a refreshing gameplay style. Although <em>Minoria<\/em> is technically not a part of the Momodora series, it is close enough that I consider it a \u2018spiritual sequel.\u2019 In comparison to the previous entry, <em>Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight<\/em>, <em>Minoria<\/em> features gameplay that more strongly resembles that of an action RPG \u2014 mechanics such as a levelling system, interchangeable equipment, parrying, and dealing counter damage, to name a few. Many concepts that originated in <em>Momodora III<\/em> and <em>Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight<\/em> were expanded upon in this game, so I hope veteran players will enjoy those aspects as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/Screenshot-03.jpg?w=940&amp;resize=1920%2C1080\" alt=\"Minoria\" class=\"wp-image-142764\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Since releasing the <em>Minoria<\/em> on PC last year, we\u2019ve gathered various feedback from players and took steps to improve the game experience. This includes new weapons, new attacks, and many fixes to the game. I am pleased to say that all these improvements will be present in this Xbox One release.<\/p>\n<div id=\"msp1600211023806\" class>\n<div class=\"ms-product-badge mspb-large\" data-product-id=\"9p6m3m3b127p\">\n<div class=\"mspb-primary-image\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/apps\/9p6m3m3b127p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/store-images.s-microsoft.com\/image\/apps.20383.14621810446583936.ca2b4986-8061-4499-8d49-8498aad7915b.7f52d545-b191-4ab9-813d-fdd4040f42c9?w=400&amp;h=600\" alt=\"Minoria\" class=\"skip-lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/store-images.s-microsoft.com\/image\/apps.20383.14621810446583936.ca2b4986-8061-4499-8d49-8498aad7915b.7f52d545-b191-4ab9-813d-fdd4040f42c9?w=400&amp;h=600\" alt=\"Minoria\" class=\"skip-lazy\"> <\/a> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badges\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badge xbox-live\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/assets.onestore.ms\/cdnfiles\/sfw-service-web-onestore-onerf-2017-11-8-12\/store\/common\/images\/xbllogo_black.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"Xbox Live\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/assets.onestore.ms\/cdnfiles\/sfw-service-web-onestore-onerf-2017-11-8-12\/store\/common\/images\/xbllogo_black.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"Xbox Live\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Minoria<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mspb-secondary-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-left-container\">\n<p>DANGEN Entertainment<\/p>\n<div class=\"mspb-rating\">\n<div> <span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-full-stars\"> <span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-right-container\">\n<div class=\"mspb-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 \u201cwitches.\u201d Now, Sisters Semilla and Fran, missionaries in the Church\u2019s service, set out to thwart the witches\u2019 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\u2019s legacy on consoles.\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .main-content --> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
