About the Game

Traverse the once flourishing Kingdom of Malvora, now a twisted decrepit shadow of itself teeming with its corrupted former inhabitants, deadly traps and punishing curses.

Whether deciding to focus on speed, strength, magic or a combination of your choosing, Malvora’s challenges are many but so are the methods of overcoming them.

Take vengeance on your former allies who have betrayed and left you for dead. With each of the betrayers having different strengths and weaknesses the path to retake the throne is all but simple. 

Save characters that will help you on your journey and unlock items that will be key to traversing the harsh road to the throne. But each game presents a possibility of those characters being taken away or the precious items stolen. 

The Oblivion continually twists and mutates the realm, making each run different from the last. In an unpredictable world taking back the throne can be achieved only through skill and perseverance.
