About the Game

Milon the Tempest, is a witch-hunter on a mission to take down a conspiracy of wizards. As the Left Hand of the King, he is responsible for doing the work that Knights and Emissaries of the King cannot be associated with.

He is leading the Crimson Capes, a guild of witch-hunters taking on missions throughout the kingdom of Amvros. During the events of the story you will discover that there are more sinister powers at play and you will come to understand the true meaning of power.

ONE FOR ALL

You can take control of any hero you want, at all times. Discover each unique fighting style and skill tree. Join in the asymmetrical multiplayer and hunt in online co-op with other Capes, or invade a hunt as a Deathblade.

BLADE IN HAND

SWORD & SORCERY

STEEL MEETS BONE

Take the heads of your opponents, bring them down to their knees for a finishing blow, or spill their insides out. Deliver the Law of the King and make an example out of your enemies.

HIGH ADVENTURE
