Level up your skills & discover various abilities, sub-weapons, and items to help you survive in this retro 2D action-adventure indie ode to the Metroidvania and Souls genres.
The Elemental of Fire has grown intolerant of humanity's growing presence in this untouched, fledgling world. Inventing their own Avatar in response to being alone in the world, humanity and Steel displace Fire as the next heir of the Movement of the Elements, incurring Fire's wrath for this act of heresy.
All seems lost for humankind, yet one warrior stands alone at the end of this bitter war. With vivid memories of being immolated and destroyed by the Avatar of Fire, this lone warrior must piece together the aftermath of the battle, avenge humanity, and discover the fate of the one they loved.
