Malicious Rebirth ROM Description

Malicious: A Stylized Action Game with a Rich Story

“Malicious,” an Alvion action game for PlayStation 3, is unusual. The game, known for its beauty and violent fighting, was published in Japan in 2010 and globally in 2012. After its critical success, “Malicious Rebirth” for PlayStation Vita and “Malicious Fallen” for PlayStation 4 included new content and features.

Gameplay Mechanics

“Malicious” emphasizes boss battles without stage advancement typical of action games. Players fight bosses and their minions in each stage. Mantle of Cinders, a versatile weapon that can convert into melee fists, projectile weapons, and a shield, is the game’s main mechanic.

Players choose the order of stages, and each boss defeat grants additional skills and abilities. Each stage gets harder with greater adversaries and boss health, so this choice affects game difficulty. A dynamic power-up system increases the main character’s jump height and attack range as the player continues.

“Malicious.” depicts health and damage uniquely. Damage causes limbs to disappear, indicating health. Players can restore limbs with “Aura,” earned by killing foes. Combat attacks can be enhanced by aura.

Plot and Setting

In the declining and turbulent Kingdom of Santville, “Malicious” takes place. Queen Ashlelei and her daughters Valeria and Erica face political intrigue, conflict, and otherworldly threats. Ashlelei gets mysterious powers and becomes The Sleepless Queen after her children die and King Eldrake betrays her. She leads several military battles and becomes known as The Mad Queen owing to her love of war.

The Spirit Vessel, the game’s protagonist, appears a century later to fight the Malicious. As the Spirit Vessel, the player must overcome erstwhile companions who have become golems and face the Malicious.

Story continuation*

“Malicious Rebirth” and “Malicious Fallen” continue the Spirit Vessel, Mantle of Cinders, and Malicious conflict from the previous game. These expanded ports add chapters, levels, and bosses to the “Malicious” universe.

Conclusion

“Malicious” is a unique blend of beautiful design, hard gameplay, and a compelling story. Boss battles and the Mantle of Cinders weapon distinguish it from other action games. For action game fans wanting complexity and creativity, “Malicious”‘s fantasy and mystery tale and stunning graphics make it unforgettable.
