Overview and Gameplay
Glendaal, son of Shadax from Solstice, enters an isometric adventure to rescue his father from Sonia. Equinox mixes room-by-room puzzle solving, platform positioning, dungeon exploration, weapons, spells, keys, bosses, and a world map linking eight large dungeons.
Controls And Mechanics
- Movement uses the isometric perspective, so judging depth and platform position is central to play.
- Dungeon rooms combine enemies, switches, blocks, doors, keys, hazards, and hidden paths.
- Weapons and spells help clear rooms, reveal blocks, heal, freeze enemies, unlock doors, or change the situation.
- Blue orb tokens are collected to summon each dungeon boss, and boss victories open new world-map progress.
- The game is single-player only.
