Lately, the kingdom’s lands have seen a surge of bandits, and wild beasts have begun attacking merchants and travelers with alarming frequency. In addition, occultists and fanatics wielding forbidden magic have grown active on the outskirts. The trouble has become so widespread that the official forces—the Royal Guard, the City Watch, and the army—can no longer handle it effectively. Thanks to its wealth, the Kingdom of Zeverat could afford to bring in volunteers and mercenaries to ease the burden on the main forces and grant them partial authority to keep the peace. Answering this call, you arrive by ship on the kingdom’s shores to join the militia and help restore order Key features of the game: - Hero progression - with each level, the player earns points they can spend to learn new skills - Fast-paces realtime battles - Appearance customization: choose hair color, skin tone, and gear color, as well as face shape and hairstyle - The ability to buy various weapons, armor, and potions from merchants in the city - The ability to craft new items and resources, as well as upgrade items - Exploration of vast locations with secrets and mini-bosses - Beautiful graphics - Pleasant music with Greek motifs
