About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
In a realm where the gods of life reign, Death starts to spread. It is foretold that you, a husk of a once-diligent scholar, will find a legendary mask and slay this eldritch evil. In the mountaintop kingdom of Wisdom, a prophecy begins to unfold, but it is your decision to fight for the gods and fulfill the prophecy or to become an apostle of Death.
Fast-paced combat
Evade enemy attacks, chain together your learned combat arts into unique combos, and channel the power of gods to crush your enemies!
Copy your enemies' attacks
Your mask grants you the ability to steal your enemies' combat skills.
Learn unique attacks from each enemy you kill, and grow your arsenal of dozens of deadly combat arts.
Challenging boss fights
The boss fights will truly put your fighting skills to the test. From giant arachnoids and mechanical beasts to dragons and terrifying angelic beings, every single boss is designed with their unique move set to be challenging but fair.
Unique World
You will travel through lush swamps, chilling ruins, and ancient cities. Each world features unique enemies and secrets. Explore the twisted lands of the gods and uncover the truth behind the spreading of Death in this once thriving world.
- Steal your enemies' attacks and weave their moves into your own combos
- Face off against unique and challenging monsters and terrifying bosses
- Explore large, interconnected surreal worlds and uncover their secrets
- Acquire the god's powers to solve puzzles and gain an edge in combat
- Decide the fate of this world: rescue the gods of Life or become an apostle of Death
