Built on a rich action-RPG foundation, Batora follows Avril — a regular 16-year old girl, not a natural-born hero — as she realizes, after losing everything she cares for, that she is the only one who can save a dying planet Earth from oblivion.This is how her interplanetary adventure starts: along this journey she will visit colorful and mysterious planets and meet intriguing characters - and she will learn that every choice has a consequence.
Far from a standard aRPG game, Batora: Lost Haven is based on the duality between mind and body, introducing a new game mechanic that challenges players to find the perfect balance between the two - losing sight of one could mean that their journey is over. Batora doesn't present the hero's journey in black or white, good or evil: there are decisions and there are their consequences. Every single decision Avril makes will turn out to be important, often even life-changing, for the characters she meets or the places she visits.
The duality of the lead character is also one of Batora's most unique features with players required to use the "switch mechanic" to alternate between their physical and mental states. Learning the right time to strike or not be struck and in which state to do so will present a considerable challenge to even the most experienced players.
