OROBOROS is a premium action PC game by developer Blay Games, and is a 2D arcade arena shooter inspired by the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros, which represents a snake or dragon eating its own tail. Players will control one of these creatures as they attempt to complete the cycle of consumption while dealing with enemies in their way. A demo is available to get a preview of the gameplay.

Death and rebirth

In OROBOROS, you control one of five ancient ouroboros creatures, trying to complete its cycle of consumption. However, your journey is being disturbed by hostile creatures and aliens, preventing you from doing a full circle. Utilize each of their unique abilities, such as stopping time and turning enemies to stone, to overcome the hindrance and grow more powerful with each successful loop.

You’ll have your bat companion to provide support, and there are various items to pick up during your runs, including temporary power-ups and coins that will be used to unlock upgrades for your ouroboros. Now, aside from the demo, the full game doesn’t have an exact release date yet, so you’ll have to wait for more news and announcements if you want to play more.

Complete the cycle

To sum up, if you’re a fan of bullet hell arena shooters, OROBOROS is an interesting game that’s worth a look. It offers a unique take on the traditional gameplay formula, and its ouroboros is a nice twist that gives it more substance and intrigue. Keep this on your radar and dive right in when it finally comes out.
