A downloadable game for Windows

Updated Version of the Savannah Global Game Jam 2016 Winner.

BANISH is a two player versus game, that allows players to partake in the immortal battle between two warring spirits, as they fight to banish each other from the plains of existence. Players must utilize their skills in combat to slay their enemy and offer their opponents body as a blood sacrifice to their own demonic altar. With 3 successful blood offerings given to the altar, the player's demon will grow in size and power. To win the game, the players must evolve their demon to stage 3, at which point the demon will permanently devour the opposing player, banishing them from all dimensions.

This game is really amazing, nice concept, gameplay feels nice, playing with pads is ofc the best. I'd love to see more characters and elementals to choose from and this game would have been even better, a nice party game.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.

The game looks good, and is a nice concept. Two minor problems; you can kill a character at respawn repeatedly and just one button can close the game, that is a problem if you are playing with children or butterfingered friends. Thanks for sharing it.
