How to play

Demons are crossing into our world through rifts. Your village stands empty in a clearing of the Old Wood, its people driven out by the last attack. Rebuild it, win a Kyri to your side, and close the rift that has torn open beyond the trees.

Build in the village

• The village is your home base. Mine rocks and split logs for stone and timber (press F beside them), fish in the stream, build your home on your plot, and offer materials at the shrine to make the village grow.
• Strike four times in a row: a sweeping slash, a low spin, a flaming high spin, then a flurry that drives forward. Hold strike for a leaping slam. Roll, then strike, for a quick spin.
• The gold bar is stamina. Strikes, rolls, jumps and blocked hits use it, and it refills when you ease off. If it runs dry you can't strike, roll, jump or run until it recovers. With your sword sheathed you run faster and recover quicker.
• Once Rumblehorn is your Kyri it fights on its own. Charge rams through a line of demons, Quake leaps in and smashes the ground, and Roar pulls demons onto it and powers up your sword.
• Every demon you defeat gives XP. Level up for more health, harder strikes and quicker rolls. Your level is saved between runs.
• Red marks on the ground show where an attack will land. Roll through at the last moment to slow time.
