About the Game

In a world ruled by magic and legends, the Varoa Viss, an ancient order of mystic guardians, ensured that the balance was maintained. But one fateful day the unimaginable happened, someone stole the heart of Nerthus, breaking the balance and corrupting all of Einar's creatures.

You will play as Revnar, one of the most venerable guardians of the order and your mission will be to find and return the heart to its sacred place. On your way, you will fight against the once peaceful creatures that are now plunged into chaos and violence, traveling through the land of Einar and its fantastic sceneries, purifying the corruption and restoring balance to the world.

In the current version you can:
  • Play the Story Mode through the first four levels of the game.
  • Play those same levels in Survival Mode, facing relentless hordes and multiple missions every game.
  • Experience a frenetic sense of combat that allows you to express your playstyle with four distinct elemental magic runes.
