Players take on the role of the Tsarevna, a young warrior and heir to a fallen dynasty. Armed with a magical blade forged from emotion itself, she battles through hordes of creatures drawn from myth — wraiths, mermaids, forest spirits — as she seeks vengeance and truth in a world scarred by a long-forgotten cataclysm.
Tsarevna’s core combat system is built around choreographed motion captured from world-renowned ballerina Alyona Kovalyova, principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet. Combat is a deadly performance — every step, pirouette, and strike flows like choreography. Dodge, parry, and unleash seamless combos using enchanted charms and rune-bound powers. Your every move weaves a deadly spectacle. Master the rhythm of battle to unleash emotion-driven magic. But remember: no power comes without sacrifice.
Set in the aftermath of a dark and fractured era, Tsarevna leads players on a journey through enchanted and forsaken realms — from the depths of the Underworld to the skybound lands of Iriy. Along the way, players will confront ancient deities, unlock the Tsarevna’s forgotten past, and uncover the cost of wielding power rooted in grief and beauty.
