## What is Radiant?

Radiant: Guardians of Light is a pixel art action RPG for people who like hack and slash games with proper combos: a sword in one hand, elemental magic in the other and a kingdom to take back from the dark.

More than a hundred years ago, the hero chosen by the spirit of light was corrupted by war and became Gultar, the adept of darkness who now rules Helia. Ainar has a smaller problem, at first: bandits took his little sister, Alina, and he wants her back. Then a fragment of the spirit of light chooses him, and the rescue turns into a war.

A SIDE SCROLLING HACK AND SLASH
Fight through more than 50 side-scrolling levels, from Crab Island and the plains of Adran to the Igdral Forest, the Fields of Ralegost and the city of Helix. Rescue the elemental spirits held by Gultar's heralds and take down the bosses waiting for you along the way, with animated cutscenes and an original soundtrack.

COMBAT
The part that makes hack and slash games worth playing, done properly:
• Chain combos and launch enemies into the air, then keep hitting them up there
• Roll out of danger and dash straight through a crowd
• Fire elemental blasts, and a special attack when the elemental bar fills up
• Switch at any moment between Ainar's sword and the magic of Quinn, the pink-haired apprentice of the sorceress Ophana

AN ARPG WITH A FORGE AND A TAVERN
Between fights you go back to a village that is a little odd, in a good way. Gildart, the blacksmith, is half troll, half dwarf and half human (best not to check the maths). Grissel has spent a hundred years looking for a cure for an old accident. Rolant is a talking cat who hunts for a living. And Captain Roberts, a retired pirate, runs a tavern full of mercenaries for hire.
• Craft and upgrade swords, helmets and armour at Gildart's forge
• Equip pendants with magical abilities
• Spend skill points to grow stronger
• Get potions for a temporary boost, materials from the hunters and mercenaries from the tavern
• Follow main, side and daily quests, and travel between the portals you find

COLOSSEUM AND A ROGUELIKE MODE
When the story is not enough, the Colosseum throws wave after wave of enemies at you. And the Rogue mode builds its rooms at random: pick skills at the shrines, hire mercenaries, face bosses and start again knowing a little more. No two runs are alike.

A PIXEL ACTION RPG YOU CAN PLAY OFFLINE
• No internet connection needed
• Five difficulty levels, from Easy to Legend
• Keyboard and mouse, controller or touch controls, and every action can be remapped
• Accessibility options: a narrator for menus and dialogue, colour filters, larger text, less screen shake, fewer flashes and sound cues for enemies, walls and points of interest

If you are looking for action RPG games that ask for timing rather than button mashing, or hack and slash games where a well-placed roll matters as much as the hit, Radiant is a good place to swing a sword. Follow the light, find Alina and see what Gultar has done with the kingdom.

### 3/5 — Increase text size pls!!!!

*2026-05-10*

Liking it so far but there is no reason for the text to be smaller than an atom 😵‍💫

In response to devs: mainly the dialogue is extremely small :(

**Developer response:** Hey Tyler, sorry for that, we will increase it in the next update :) 

Any in partcular are too small for you? Dialogues? Menus? All?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-09*

This game is exquisitely beautiful and feels like playing a story book. My biggest complaint is that I can’t give it 10 stars instead of only 5.

Few minor things:
- Controls and movement are excellent, but! Please add onscreen buttons - a movement joystick overlay on the left, and an attack/jump/spell buttons as another option to the swipe controls.
- I HATE games that lock you out of background music/videos and this game thankfully doesn’t do that, however, it plays sound while on Silent which is fine, but when I turned all volume settings down I could still hear the fire crackling when in your cabin at the beginning. Just needs a quick patch to ensure all ambient noise is affected by volume controls.
- The writing needs polishing or a pro to add to it. For example, when encountering the first boss looking character (a GIANT of a man) your characters response? “Hehe, a truce?” It was a wasted opportunity for some quality banter. 
“This has been surprisingly easy soOHH BOY HE’S HUGE. You have DEFINITELY been eating all your vegetables… and local wildlife… and several small villages… Is it tough having to wake up every morning across multiple time zones? And when it rains on your head, does it take 2 - 3 business days before your feet get wet? And that Hurricane last year - was that you sneezing? I just have so many questions.”

Doesn’t need to be a sarcasm laden Marvel-movie but a bit of wit here and there wouldn’t go amiss. To be honest, I would LOVE to take a crack at it myself, this game has phenomenal opportunities for dialogue.

**Developer response:** Hey, 

Thanks a lot for such a great review. I really appreciate your feedback! Your ideas are great, and hey, I would love to implement some of them. If you message support, we can talk about it :)


Thanks again, have an amazing day!
