Choose from different character classes, each with their own abilities and weapons, such as swords, bows, and shurikens, allowing for diverse playstyles and strategic depth.

Quests

The rich and varied non-linear quest system offers you many opportunities to earn rewards, such as gold, items, reputation, skills, and character classes.

You will encounter blacksmiths, quests givers, and shops who offer you their goods and services. Various quests to help the locals, such as defending a village from a demon attack, increase your reputation which unlocks further opportunities.

Multiplayer
