Assuming the role of a Rune Knight, players must arm themselves with a variety of unique weapons to protect what’s left of Rokar, their homeland. Fending off the twisted and powerful Unraveled forces and utilizing their best sword-fighting skills, Rune Knights must defeat these former Rokari warriors who roam the ruins. Strategy is key; only those Rune Knights who are clever and persistent will survive the horrors that lie ahead.
Players will be masters of their own martial style and battle corrupted humanoids, monstrous creatures, and unknown horrors. Death is inevitable, though win or lose, players will make progress towards the next level.
Battle your way through a series of encounters, claim upgrades and abilities after each victory, and continue on to face even stronger enemies. Through continued play, you’ll amass Aether, a spendable in-game resource, allowing you to power up, upgrade, and unlock weapons. Through each encounter, you’ll learn your enemies’ weaknesses and develop tactics to help you take down your foes on your next attempt. Fight. Fall. Rise Again! Persistence is your key to success.
Fight. Fall. Rise Again.
Adding to the game’s appeal is actor Zehra Fazal in the role of the mysterious Runesmith. Ms. Fazal is known for Voltron: Legendary Defender and Netflix’s Lost in Space, among many other roles. The heart-pounding Synthwave music of the credits track was composed by Chris Dudley, the keyboardist in the multi-Grammy award-nominated band Underoath.
