About this game
Milon the Tempest, is a witch-hunter on a mission to take down a conspiracy of wizards. As the Left Hand of the King, he is responsible for doing the work that Knights and Emissaries of the King cannot be associated with.
He is leading the Crimson Capes, a guild of witch-hunters taking on missions throughout the kingdom of Amvros. During the events of the story you will discover that there are more sinister powers at play and you will come to understand the true meaning of power.
ONE FOR ALL
You can take control of any hero you want, at all times. Discover each unique fighting style and skill tree. Join in the asymmetrical multiplayer and hunt in online co-op with other Capes, or invade a hunt as a Deathblade.
BLADE IN HAND
Fight using moves and guards based on realistic fighting techniques. Perform feints, thrusts, cuts and spinning moves to open up your enemies for a fatal hit.
SWORD & SORCERY
Each hero has magical abilities to compliment their fighting style. You can harness the winds and command thunder, raise flames or call upon darkness to engulf you. As you gain more experience you can expand on your physical and magical skills.
STEEL MEETS BONE
Take the heads of your opponents, bring them down to their knees for a finishing blow, or spill their insides out. Deliver the Law of the King and make an example out of your enemies.
HIGH ADVENTURE
Raid old ruins and magic towers, climb down dark caverns and explore mystical forests. Magical artifacts are waiting to be discovered in every corner of the world, which you can explore at your own pace and in any order you like.
