UNRAVEL GLIMMERVALES SECRETS
As the lynx adventurer Willow, on the hunt for gold, honor and glory, you’ll enter the wild and lawless land of Glimmervale. While navigating your way around this war-scarred land, meet cute, yet fierce, characters and unravel Glimmervales secrets through their stories. Willow might even grow from their experiences…
SLASH YOUR WAY FORWARD
But the treacherous biomes will pose many threats, so be vigilant! Slash your way through hordes of bandits and other enemies, and eliminate their camps along the way. However, your interference will not go unnoticed… Throughout your journey your skill will be put to the test by challenging bosses. What will wait for you at the end of this daring journey?
