- Azrael 2!! (Final Update) - 11 March 2024
This update contains a few minor tweaks and a new item that appears in every single one of my games known as the Omniblade. This is an all powerful weapon that you unlock after 100% completion typically, but in this game it appears very rarely at random if you turn the items on. So you may have already noticed this, but I have changed the name of the game from Azrael to Shadow of Azrael. This is what the story was originally called over a decade ago back when it was first conceived. The reason for the name change is that there are a few other games that simply go by Azrael available on Steam right now and I wanted mine to be unique and stand apart from the rest. I will be releasing the sequel, Shadow of Azrael 2, very soon on Steam Early Access! It will likely be available at the end of March or the start of April 2024. You can check it out here, and be sure to add it to your wishlist!…
- Bot fix patch. - 27 August 2023
Hello, everyone. So I got a negative review complaining about the bot AI from someone named Player 2. I normally try to reply to these updates and fix any issues you might have with the game as soon as I can. I would really appreciate it if you could report the issues in the bug report thread first before leaving a bad review. In that particular review he pointed out that the AI reads the player's button input. This actually isn't true. There are actually zones around the AI that reads where the player is at and decides what move is appropriate. However, he was right about one thing... it was bugged! Normally if it's on an easy setting, these zones are hardly in use... and if it's on the hardest setting, the bots use these zones all of the time. This bug was pretty huge, because the zones were *always* active no matter what setting the bot was on, which made the game way harder than it…
- Another minor update! - 30 May 2023
Whoops! Turns out in the latest major update there was a crash bug in single player, so I patched that up as soon as I found out about it! I also fixed the deadzone issue that some players were experiencing. I'd like to thank the steam user oofiet for the positive review and for bringing both of these issues to my attention! I hope everyone has a great week. Nick
- Memorial Day Update - 29 May 2023
This update fixes more bugs and has a few gameplay balances. The biggest feature however is improved analog stick control. Before, when trying to do a forward attack, sometimes an up or down would come out on accident if you tilted the stick too high or low. This is no longer an issue and it vastly improves the gameplay if you use the analog stick to move. It makes the level of control a lot better. I also received a negative review with some complaints about the game and I'm addressing all of them. So far for this update I've included the ability to control the music and sound effects volumes from within the options menu. There was also this issue to where if you alt+tabbed the game then the bots would do some really funky stuff with your keyboard on your desktop. Now the game automatically pauses when inactive and that issue is no longer there. I also adjusted the knockback settings i…

This update fixes a lot of bugs, adds a few new graphics, effects, and gameplay balances. I hope you enjoy the latest version of Azrael!
- Thanksgiving Update! - 22 November 2022
This is another big update with more bug fixes, gameplay balancing and more. There are now 3 different difficulty modes to choose from. When you lost in the single player campaign before, that was it, game over. But now you have a certain amount of continues depending on which setting you chose. I also added a feature where you can choose "Saved Settings", and whatever changes you make in the options menu will now save to that mode. Next time you load up the game, it will load up all of your saved settings automatically. I also added an information section which contains character bios. I will add more to this as time goes on. If you have any trouble getting the newest update, just uninstall and reinstall the game. Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the newest version of Azrael!
- Birthday Update! - 11 November 2022
Today is my 40th birthday! I bring to you another big update. This one contains a lot of bug fixes, character balancing, as well as new glowing auras and effects around the characters and their attacks. I hope you enjoy the new version! If it doesn't update for you automatically, then you might need to uninstall and reinstall the game in order to get the newest version. Have a great day and enjoy the newest version of Azrael!
- Another Big Update! - 21 June 2022
This update makes a lot of little changes to the game, including tweaks to the gameplay, character balancing, additional animations, glow effects, and mouse control for the menus. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the game in order to get the new version.
- Game Released! - 18 May 2022
The game has finally been released with a major update! We will continue to update this game over the next couple of years with more graphics, animations, stages and characters. In order to get the new update, you might have to uninstall and reinstall the game. We will be updating it frequently from here on out, so be sure to get the newest version! Thank you for playing!
- Major New Update for our Smash-like DBZ Style fighting game! - 20 June 2021
This is our first really, *really* big update! The game is now much further along, with a lot of new characters, bug fixes, and polish overall. There is also a new character select screen, and coming next is the level select with more stages. We also added a new Ascended form for Azrael himself! ASCENDED AZRAEL When Azrael charges (L2+R2) while being under 50% HP and at least level 18, he shifts into the Ascended Azrael form. This version of Azrael gains a huge speed boost, better flight, a much-improved superspeed (the best in the game) and an upgrade to his blasts. The form lasts until death and gives Azrael a massive upgrade which can turn the tide of a tough battle. RAVENOUS Ravenous is a demon from the Otherworld. He is a massive character, larger than any other, and feels like a monster in combat. His ground strikes are slow, but have great range and power, and his air attacks are…
- Early Access Release - 5 March 2021
Hello, everyone! Thanks for tuning in. I'd appreciate it if you left any criticism in the forums, it will really help me out a lot. Good or bad, it doesn't matter to me, I will try to address any and all concerns you guys have. That's the interesting part about all of this is that you get to sort of help me mold this game as it goes on. Right now there are only a couple of bugs that I know of, but if you can help me find more that would be great. It's still missing a lot of features, even a basic character select screen and a single player campaign, but it's all coming in time. Right now I'm working on the ability to change your player's color so that mirror matches are much better. I'm doing the best I can and I'm dedicated to finishing the project over time. I'd much rather hear your input in the forum so that I can fix whatever issues you may have as I develop the game. And just to f…
