What is Shattered - Tale of the Forgotten King?

A single-player, third-person action RPG set in Hypnos, a ruined world whose king has disappeared. You follow branching routes through a semi-open world, fight with swords and spells, and tackle platforming sections that shift into a side-on view. Accounts from sometimes unreliable survivors help you reconstruct the fall of civilization.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy unraveling cryptic lore without constant guidance
  • +you like searching optional routes for hidden areas

Not for you if...

  • −you want linear progression and a clearly explained story
  • −you prefer combat without jumping or platforming sections
