This was the great sin and now the first seven swords are forever lost in this world.

It’s necessary to find them in order to defy him again. Such a task can only be completed by the last seven Orins though, who still search for them. DYNAMIC COMBAT – Using light and heavy attacks with great precision and six different styles, the combat system heavily relies on timing and patience. This intensive skill based system is supported by the procedural generation of swords and by a diverse range of enemies and bosses. Attacks can be combined with roll movements and the use of ancient relics, as well as dynamic body transformations called Kuros, allow even more diverse gameplay.

EXPLORATION ELEMENTS – Ancient relics allow the player to uncover secret weapons and life fragments to better support player combat capabilities. Many relics, secrets and locations are totally optional and can only be found by extensive search into the game lore.…
