What is The Relic: First Guardian?

Set in the ruined realm of Arsilthus, this third-person action RPG follows your effort to restore a land shattered by a relic's destruction. You explore interconnected regions and hidden dungeons, uncover artifacts and lore, and fight bosses with five weapon types. Stamina powers dodging and blocking, while magic relies on cooldowns and a separate meter.
