Curse of Yggdrasil

About this game

Story:

In the wake of a severe injury, you awaken in a strange world, surrounded by lifeless bodies bearing a striking resemblance to you. With fragmented memories and an eerie atmosphere, your only option is to confront the menacing creatures that lurk ahead. To unearth the truth behind your presence in this enigmatic realm, you must fight your way forward.
Will you conquer the curse that binds you to this world, or will you become just another lost soul?

Game Features:

• Combat: Engage in intense battles where every mistake can be fatal. Learn to defend yourself and anticipate attacks by dodging, parrying at the right moment to create an opening, and annihilate your enemies with powerful counter-attacks. Your keen observation and judgment will be put to the test every moment.
  
  
• Character Progression: As you progress, level up your character's stats and find power items to enhance your abilities. Customize your playstyle to suit your preferences and the challenges that lie ahead.
  
  
• Diverse Combat Styles: Choose from a cast of unique characters, each with their distinct combat style. Unleash devastating special attacks that can turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Characters:

Nihil:

A mysterious entity that doesn't seem ill-intentioned toward you at first glance, or perhaps that's what she wants you to think?

Little Homunculus:

A handcrafted creature that aggressively attacks anyone who approaches her. Is there no other way but to fight?

Coming Soon:

Disclaimer:

The game is very early in its development and many features are subject to change. New maps, enemies, mechanics and overhauls of the current systems are planned to be introduced as the game is being developed.
