Xyndrahe
NOTICE!
WASD1, WASD2 and Touch controls do not work for the combat system! Stay with the Arrow Keys configuration!
Until voting is over, only the arrow key setup properly works. Sorry for any inconveience this may cause.
There have been a couple concerns posted regarding survival problems. Here are a few tips to help stay alive.
- After purchasing equipment, make sure you go to the menu, select 'ITEMS' and hit left/right to move the selection boxes over to the sword and shield. This will boost your STR and DEF and allow you to be more effective against enemies.
- Farm your way up to level 3 before you worry about leaving the first 'world' area on the map.
- Your first goal should be to head west (past the mansion) and explore the caves. You will find a key in there that will help lead you to your first artifact.
On a distant island resides a god that no one has ever seen. His name is Torrochi and has suppressed many of the old traditions of an older god named Xyndrahe who disappeared long ago. One such tradition, while it is rumor, there was another tradition that involved the use of pumpkins, costumes and candy, but no one seems to understand what this all means.
Enter Drakhe, a young and aspiring adventurer. He sets out on a ship to reach the island and learn of the old traditions of Xyndrahe, but what he finds on the island is not what he expected.
Xyndrahe is a RPG featuring bump mechanics; you 'literally' run into the enemy to damage them, though there is strategy behind this method. A direct, frontal assault is most likely to harm the player in the process. Off-center attacks greatly reduces the chances of being attacked and a side/back attack will allow him to attack without being harmed.
