About Heidelberg 1693

Heidelberg 1693 is a classic 2D action platformer that throws you into the ravaged city of 17th century Heidelberg. As the Sun King's bravest musketeer, you must carve a bloody path through hordes of monsters and the undead. The game focuses on tactical combat: your musket must be manually reloaded after every shot, and you can also use a swift rapier for melee skirmishes. Resources are limited, so every bullet counts.

The story follows the Moon King, the bastard son of Louis XIV, who uses black magic and dark science to raise an army of the dead. You must confront him and his minions across over 20 lovingly detailed levels. Each level features hand-crafted and hand-animated enemies, including deadly bosses inspired by real historical figures twisted by the nightmare world.

Gameplay is pure action-platforming with no backtracking or inventory management. Timing is critical: a correctly timed jump or attack can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Enemies can hurt each other, so goading them into friendly fire is a key strategy. To permanently kill the undead, you must land the killing blow with your musket, as gunpowder tears apart the body and prevents resurrection.

The game features beautifully animated sprites and authentic 17th century settings. Visit real locations and meet historical characters, all brought to life through animated cutscenes inspired by silent films. The developers spent years researching the period to ensure authentic mechanics, from the musket's reload to the historical backdrop, before adding their signature morbid fantasy twist.
