Kristala

Embark on an epic journey featuring challenging combat, acrobatic parkour, and exploration through the vast world of Ailur and it's clan lands to uncover a detailed story. Become the role of a fledgling feral warrior who must master the magic of the ancient sacred Kristals by proving themselves worth of the ancient Raksaka warriors, the most powerful warriors in all of Ailur and the governing body for the feline beings who live there, the Anagativa.

Avoid damage by blocking, dashing/rolling + deflecting attacks. Win battles by combining light + heavy attacks, utilizing multiple weapon abilities, and the casting of spells. Regenerate Mana by engaging in melee combat. Use multiple means for attack on the various mutated monsters living in Ailur such as utilizing traversal for aerial assassinations, using your cat-like abilities to sneak up on enemies using stealth, taking them on up-front with your weapons, and using your vast magical abilities. Use Ailur's environment to your advantage by swinging on tree branches, wall-jumping, climbing, balancing on tightropes, running along rooftops, and crawling on all fours to sneak your way through small openings.

Customize your feline using Kristala's character customization menu that allows you to choose from a vast variety of fur patterns in various fur lengths as well as choosing your clan origin, which determines your character's eye color and the magic type you will use throughout the game. You will also choose your class, which determines your weapon, armor, and starting stat loadouts. You can develop your feline character as you play through a combo of leveling up stats, magic, and feline abilities all adaptive to your play-style.
