Battle enemies mutated by magic as you explore the kingdoms of peaceful Tripudia and dangerous Maelon. Unravel the threads of an insidious plot and uncover dark secrets to help bring an end to the mysterious disease threatening Tripudia.
Check out the Trailer:
“Trulon begins as your character wakes up (of course), and you speak with your sick father (of course) to learn that there is a monster problem in town (of course). Luckily, you’re a monster hunter! Well, at least they cut out the whole “why is this kid fighting monsters?” question. She’s fighting monsters because she’s a monster hunter, duh. From there, the story progresses and branches off a bit from the cliches, introducing a fairly fleshed out steampunk/medieval world with two vying form of magic (they’re basically “rage” and “mana” though) and a unique take on the merits of big cities versus smaller farming villages. It’s written by Jak Koke, the writer of the Shadowrun novels, so despite some generic JRPG dialogue the overall themes are actually rather interesting.”
