Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King takes place in a strange and shattered world, ruled by Elder Gods. Follow the Wanderer on his journey to discover memories of his past, with The Whisperer - a mysterious and cynical creature - guiding him on his quest. Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King will take you on a journey of choices and hidden stories, with all your decisions determining your path.

Redlock Studio has just reached their initial funding goal of €80k on Kickstarter for their debut game Shattered - Tale of the Forgotten King. With 5 days left on the campaign, Redlock Studio hopes to reach additional funding to release on consoles and create additional content.

Maxime René, Redlock Studio's Creative Director said that "reaching this first funding goal is opening a lot of opportunities for us - all this thanks to the community that helped us get to this point. We're now focused on the last few days of the campaign, to increase the scope of the project and realise our dream of making Shattered! It's a big first step for the gigantic universe we're hoping to develop, for (and with) the community."

The challenge for the player is to explore the whole, wide-ranging level, and then to solve it as a large-scale puzzle.  Each zone is made of One major puzzle that the player has to solve to progress through the adventure, three minor puzzles that will give you access to secret zones or different scenaristic nodes. In this part, you must survive lethal traps, solve many enigmas and find your way through labyrinthic levels.

Through the game, the player will face 12 bosses, the Demiurges, and legions of fallens: dead creatures and citizens of the realm are now their servant and minions. There are different behaviour patterns for each one of them.

The fighting system is as pure as possible, relying on: player's dexterity, reflexes and sense of timing (Light and heavy attacks, dodging, feinting and dashing are at the very heart of the gameplay and lead to special attack chains), and skills acquired and used during the platforming phases.

Unlock different passive or active skills depending on how you want to play the game. Some hidden skill trees will give different skill sets, depending on the battles you fight and levels you complete.

Every killed monster will drop Limbo Essences, which are the in-game currency. You can use them to heal yourself or throw them in the alchemical crucible. The crucible allows you to create several consumables, plus items to merge with your equipment in order to change your stats according to your preference. You can also improve your alchemy skills by collecting cardinal slivers.

Every single Eibon's fragment is a letter of the alphabet. The more you have, the more you'll be able to translate the Demiurges' strange language. The player will need to understand and handle properly those elements to discover the most complete ending.
