Setting
Ooroborys is a world were humans and beings called essences
live side by side. No one knows the orgins of the essences
(most don't even believe they exist), but researchers know
that they have something to do with the Cruxis sword (known
as the crystal sword to the humans).An evil essence is on the
verge of awakening the last possessor of the Cruxis sword, an
ancient human king named Demilos, whom wishes to put the entire world and its kingdoms under his rule. The planet (Ooroborys) considers Demilos a threat to its existence, so it has subtly chosen 4 humans to fight against this parasite (without their prior knowledge). You control our 4 heroes as they travel the world and its kingdoms, fighting to keep Demilos from awakening.
Characters:
Traiye:
is an optimistic 16-year old boy from Ralin villiage, a small
villiage in the Labimine forest. He made contact with the planet one day with his friend Primera at an Auroa (the games take on magical energy) deposit, giving both of them powerful latent aura's (the games take on magic). He can also be hard-headed and a little introvert with his feelings.
Primera:
is more on the pessimistic side, but she is still light
hearted with a good attitude, even though she can be a little
smart-alecky at times. She, like Traiye, made contact with the
planet through an Auroa deposit and gained the ability to use
her latent aura.
Aalani:
is a knight captain of the ancient Shandelean civilization. She
was the person tasked with killing Demilos in the first place,
but only managed to seal him in his own weapon. Upon hearing
about the re-awakening process of Demilos in the future, she
volunteered to be put to sleep until that time to warn the
people of the present of Demilos' awakening.
Kymshi:
is a knight of the modern Shandelean military that
assists our heroes under orders from the king of Shandel.
Researchers have been experimenting on Kymshi using
the latest techniques in Auroa developments, making him
imperative to the team.
Features:
-7-10 hours of epic but old-school rpg gameplay.
-Well designed, detailed boards give a sense of atmosphere to the game's 21 different locations.
-Item and magic-based battle system offers plenty of room
for articulate strategies, especially against the game's bossess.
-Fast but strategic battles that play out in first person, ala Dragonquest, but with more flare.
-Intriguing story line with its own lore (as in, not borrowed from other rpgs) and likeable characters.
-Very original take on the classic 8-bit and 16-bit era rpg
design.
-Beautiful soundtrack by Aaron Krogh.
-And much more. Too much to name here.
The Cruxis Sword is a product that has been years in the making. Many, many hours was poured into it to create both a very beautiful and entertaining old-school, traditional rpg. Incredibly consistent with the graphics and character progression, story pacing, and everything else that makes for a great rpg. You won't be disappointed.
