About
In this thrilling Metroidvania-style action game known as GIGASWORD, you’re constantly grappling with the interplay of intellect and physical strength. As the city of Thoenhart struggles with famine and sickness, humanity pins their last hopes on a daring plan: storm the ancient tower Nestrium, defeat the Nocturne, seize the God Crystal, Gnosis, and claim it as their own.
Pursued for generations by mankind as a means to prosperity, Gnosis is said to bestow power upon those who find it. Yet, the disruption of its slumbering place unleashes an evil force that could potentially tear apart the very essence of reality. Will Ezra manage to scale the heights of Nestrium in time to prevent this impending disaster, or will humanity’s lack of understanding pave the way for destruction?
Key Features
- Balance the Weight – The sword may be perfect for combat but you’ll find slaying isn’t its only use. Unlock doors, weigh down pressure plates, and push blocks as you ground your blade, traversing by foot, relieving yourself momentarily, the weight of the blade
- Olden Secrets – With cataclysm at the doorstep, unearth the twisting forgotten halls of the Nestrium. Hidden secrets lurk behind every nook, cranny, and hole in the wall, with only you to discover the wealth that lies within.
- Curb Demonic Ruination – Hack, slash, and dodge through ruthless demons, corrupted bosses, and bloodlusting fiends landing the killing below, sending them back to the underworld.
- Adapt, Innovate, Evolve – As you’re forced through nefarious traps, deathly drops, and seemingly invincible foes, discover new abilities to aid in your journey such as Thunder Bolts, Crawling Sparks, Grappling Hooks, and much more
- For Famine and Family – Humans are on death’s front door and they curse the heavens, looking to the Nestrium for their salvation. The God Crystal, Gnosis, safeguarded by the Nocturne is a chance at prosperity. It’s up to Ezra to keep the balance… and bring peace to all
