What it is
Little Noah: Scion of Paradise is a casual roguelite action game from Cygames. You play Noah, an alchemist exploring ancient ruins with her cat companion Zipper after her airship crashes. Dungeon layouts shift between playthroughs, and Noah can recruit more than 40 Lilliputs to form parties whose attack combos depend on lineup order. Items collected during a run can help strengthen her if she is knocked out. Exploring also earns mana to repair and upgrade facilities aboard the airship, with each facility providing different boosts for future adventures. Steam lists the game as single-player, with achievements, full controller support, Steam Trading Cards, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. The Steam listing gives Windows as its platform and June 28, 2022 as its release date. The broader platform information also names Xbox Series X and Series S. Cygames is listed as both developer and publisher.
