Marko: Beyond Brave is an action-packed Metroidvania that combines '90s Disney cartoons with Slavic folklore.

Wander through lush forests and crumbling castles, battle corrupted creatures, and escape intricate traps. Jump, slash, and shoot your way through challenging foes and mighty bosses inspired by Slavic myths and legends.

In Marko: Beyond Brave, entropy has escaped its prison and threatens to engulf the world. Step into the shoes of titular protagonist Marko, a young warrior who uncovers a secret power hidden within. Armed with a large greatsword and an even bigger mustache, Marko will brave ancient evils, battle mythical creatures, and forge powerful alliances to restore balance. With elemental powers at your command and every decision shaping the world's fate, embark on a thrilling adventure where courage is your greatest weapon.

Throughout the breathtakingly beautiful world of Zagora, hand-drawn in traditional 2D frame-by-frame style, you’ll encounter vivid and lively scenes, each inspired by Slavic mythology. Wander through lush forests and crumbling castles, battle corrupted creatures, and escape intricate traps. Jump, slash, and shoot your way through challenging foes and mighty bosses inspired by Slavic legends such as Vila, Koz’el, Urgl, Vlashko, and the Tree of Life.

You’ll traverse the massive non-linear map with hundreds of rooms, each as unique and strange as the next. Find hidden treasures, legendary artifacts, and crumbling monuments, revealing an ancient story. Team up with discoverable creatures and characters along the way, as they will be vital in helping beat the odds. Craft, upgrade, and forge the weapons and tools necessary to carry you to victory.
