## What is Lantern of Văn Lang?

When night falls, your lantern is all you have.

Thirty-seven seconds in, the sun goes down and everything outside your circle of light disappears. What is left are eyes. Dozens of them, glowing in the dark, closing in.

Lantern of Văn Lang is a one-thumb action roguelite set in the myths of ancient Vietnam. You are a descendant of Lạc Long Quân, the Dragon Lord, carrying a sacred lantern across the land of Văn Lang to defeat the three demons of legend.

LIGHT IS THE WHOLE GAME
• Night hides everything beyond your lantern. Spirits in the dark show only as pairs of glowing eyes.
• Your weapons aim only as far as your light reaches. A brighter lantern means a longer reach.
• Kills at night give double experience. The dark is dangerous, and it is where you grow fastest.
• Will-o'-wisps drift in only after dark. Hunt them to charge your Flare.
• Unleash the Flare to flood the screen with light, stunning and burning the spirits around you.
• Stand inside a roadside shrine to light it. You earn a blessing and a pool of light that never goes out.

BUILT FOR ONE THUMB
• Drag anywhere to move. Your weapons attack on their own.
• Every level-up, choose 1 of 3 upgrades and shape a different build each run.
• A full run takes about 10 minutes. Portrait, one hand, pause whenever you need to.

A WORLD FROM VIETNAMESE LEGEND
• 3 demon bosses: Mộc Tinh the tree demon, Ngư Tinh the fish demon and Hồ Tinh the nine-tailed fox.
• 3 stages: the Rice Paddies, the Eastern Shore and the Bamboo Forest. Then Endless Night, where the sun never rises.
• 9 weapons: bamboo staff, conical hat, firecrackers, magic crossbow, talismans, bronze drum, lotus pool, fire dragon and thunder.
• 8 passive items and 4 weapon evolutions to discover.
• 10 kinds of spirits, plus their elite forms.
• 3 heroes, each with their own strengths.

PROGRESS THAT STAYS
• Spend the coins you find on 8 permanent upgrade tracks at the Village Hall. Changed your mind? Refund every coin, any time.
• 12 achievements and lifetime records to chase.

PAY ONCE, PLAY OFFLINE
• No ads. No in-app purchases. No account.
