About
War for supremacy raged on for generations between the different tribes of Ashmyr. Until one day, an ancient force was unleashed that shook the world and granted those nearby immense power. But this power came at a high cost. It took their minds and corrupted their bodies, leaving only a ruthless fiend in their place.
They became known as the Ilcyon, slaughtering armies and obliterating towns as they ravaged the lands, leaving Ashmyr in peril.
Until a new path to hope was formed by a lone warrior. He united the tribes for the sake of survival against the Ilcyon and began a new order, The Bound. Only those proven through years of harsh training were initiated.

Honest opinion its plain boring and repeative. Game feels rough and could have been made in adobe flash. I do feel bad giving it thumbs down because the game is cute and music is nice but thats just all i can say positive about it. Crafting is boring it gets repeative to fight same monsters to obtain resources. To obtain tree goto 1 screen get 1 or 2 trees and some rocks by clicking E and E again its just dull. Fighting is okay at frist but after fighting same screen same forced layout around around guard attack. Did i say you have to fight same monsters over and over to upgrade your gear? Remember at first it was ok but some monsters are anoying to beat with slugish input. Adventure? What adventure some screens with txt a new town same fighting screen but different monster over and over. Not my cup of tee. Sorry just not recommended.
[b]A tentative recommendation from me. If you want to have some fun for an afternoon, go for it. If you want more, you will be left wanting.[/b] [i] [b]* Genre:[/b] 2D Arena style, boss fight game, with lovely graphics. [b]* Difficulty:[/b] Switch between the 3 difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard) at any moment. [b]* Classes:[/b] Switch between the 3 classes (2H Sword Warrior, Shield & Chakram Tank, Bow Archer) at any moment (they share the story progress, unlocked stuff and crafting materials). [b]* Co-op:[/b] Unlock online co-op after completing a couple of quests solo. Difficulty scales weirdly though. Every player can save and access the same progress in solo mode too. [b]* Enemies & Story:[/b] 10 bosses > beat them (and finish the story - yep it's short) and unlock the same bosses in Extreme mode > beat them and unlock the Tower (25 levels with multiple bosses sequence in each lvl) > Beat the Tower and unlock the Dungeon (no idea what it is - sorry folks, I got bored at this point). [b]* Exploration:[/b] There is 0 exploration. You only see the town, from where you access everything directly. [b]* Town Content:[/b] Craft / Upgrade / Enhance / Transmog gear, retrieve upgrade materials after each fight, train up to 4 pets to send them on missions for materials (you can have one to help you in battle). [/i] [b]I spent a lovely afternoon playing this game with my partner. But it soon became extremely repetitive.[/b]
This game has a great story with a unique fighting style. I love the art style, and animations. 10/10
RPG de acción con un sistema de combate que la verdad es la primera vez que veo, bastante entretenido y eso que es mucho mi rollo, la historia esta bien pero el diseño artistico es lo que mas me llamo la atención
战斗系统过于粗糙了

I bought this game just for the really good art and the music. I played the demo before purchasing and I really enjoyed the full game. Just beat the game and it is fun. This game is more of a boss rush game. This game is not only about increasing your stats and it requires learning the mechanics of each boss and each boss has different timings and attack patterns player has to learn before hoping to defeat them and even with only 4 position to attack from and run around I did not feel limited and it was actually fun and challenging experience to me. I like the OX Character playstyle, He is like captain america with his shield and star and that was really fun playstyle. You can also grind this game if you like grinding and I had a great time trying to grind monsters to get their gear. I really like the skeleton snake design and its armour and finished the game with that same armour. I like that the armour visuals changes based on what armour you equip and there are also transmog to mix and match and make your own style while keeping the stats. Finally, I recommend this game to everyone who likes cute art style and relaxing music and a challenging mechanics driven boss rush gameplay (like those of MMO raid bosses). Hope my review help more people enjoy this game ^_^. I would love to see a 2D beat them ups like CASTLE CRASHERS or LITTLE FIGHTER 2 with this kind of art style and music.
BEM MAIS OU MENOS.... super curto, meia boca.
its okay-ish, definitely grab it now at -90% progression is very basic, sadly you are very limited in upgrading stuff, so if you like a set from the beginning, after some upgrades its at max, so you are forced to grab the equip from the later bosses, which is kinda meh, but generally a cool game
