About the Game
Embrace your destiny as the daughter of Erlik, the god of death, in this immersive first-person action game. Craft your own spells, creatively combine them with Nightscarred's hybrid combat system, and assassinate your foes to restore balance in a physics-driven shamanic world based on Turkic mythology. Play alone or team up with a friend in co-op mode.
Solve physics puzzles to unravel ancient secrets, unlock hidden paths, and gain powerful runes that will aid you in your journey. Start as a villain and evolve into a morally grey character as the game unfolds.
KEY FEATURES
Fast-Paced Hybrid Combat
Choose your own playstyle. Run, kick, conjure, sneak, and defeat enemies using various creative methods. Nightscarred's fast-paced combat system allows you to use magical abilities and melee weapons independently, giving you full control over each during gameplay. Additionally, the movement capabilities are not restrictive, allowing you to perform all offensive abilities while dodging, jumping, crouch sliding or running.
Spellcrafting
Craft your own spells using the runes you gather during gameplay. Combine them as you wish with Nightscarred's hybrid combat system to defeat your foes. Each unique combination of runes will result in a different spell. Modify the imbuement type, casting method, and additional stats of your spell. Create the spell best fitting to your playstyle.
Unique & Dynamic World
Immerse yourself in a unique and unheard-of lore based on the ancient shamanic world of Turkic mythology. Navigate through a dynamic environment during the story and solve physics-based puzzles. Use your telekinesis ability to move physical objects (or sometimes even enemies) around and utilize them to your advantage.
Play With Your Friends
While the game can still be played solo, the story is also tailored for 2-player co-op playthroughs. Invite your friends to join your session and experience the story and gameplay in the most enjoyable way.
STORY
The Nightscarred: Forgotten Gods features a linear story with unforgettable characters, foes, and environments.
The mortal world is in peril. Scarce resources, isolated heroes, and indifferent gods plunge the mortal world into chaos. Our father, Erlik, seeks to invade the mortal world by taking advantage of this situation. A great shaman warns us that this action will disrupt the balance between both worlds, leading to our end.
Expelled from the Underworld by our father and stripped of dark powers after trying to stop him, our mission is to uncover the prophecy's secrets and prevent our father's invasion, safeguarding both realms to keep the balance between sky, mortal realm, and the land of the death.
