Umbral Core

THE GAME

Umbral Core is the first project of our newly formed indie development team, A Few Rounds Games. It started out as a passion project between 2 long-time best friends back in July 2020, but it quickly took a very professional twist as we managed to spark the interest of extremely talented professionals around the world. After gathering a lot of ideas and inspiration, we eventually decided to bring it all together and dive in the toughest and most exciting challenge we’ve ever faced, developing our dream fighting game.
