Hunter’s Legacy is an old-school 2D single-player action platformer where you control Ikki, a fierce kitty skilled with twin swords and a bow, better known as the Great Huntress of Un'Amak.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Evil Lord Morodir has stolen a most sacred relic, the Fang of Alliance. Now, Iripur, the lovely town inhabited by a feline race, is in decadence and chaos. It is the time for noble Ikki to jump into action and save the day. With her action-packed dual swords, trusty bow and fierce paws she’ll conquer every difficulty and protect the Kingdom while discovering her true potential as the Huntress of Un’Amak.</p><p>The title began development as a side project at Lienzo in April 2015, following an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign for another game, Mulaka: Origin Tribes. By October 2015 the game was greenlit on Steam and the studio began preparations to publish on said platform.</p><p> </p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The player is in control of Ikki in a big interconnected world with multiple paths and a lot of verticality. To traverse it, the feline heroine is able to jump on moving platforms, climb ledges and fall great distances without taking damage. The game camera is responsive to the ground height, and moves accordingly to show the player what lies down a pit.</p><p>Ikki is armed with dual swords which the player can use in up, down or forward directed combos. To attack enemies at a distance, Ikki can also use her bow to fire arrows in any direction. All enemies in the game cause damage when touched. To dodge them and move faster, Ikki can execute forward rolls.</p><p>During the adventure, the heroine acquires new abilities by defeating bosses, useful to access new zones of the game world in a metroidvania fashion. Said abilities are (in order of appearance): Magical Arrows, Heavy Down Strike, Dash and Mind Control. The latest one is used to control a second character with different abilities in the last sections of the game.</p><p>Money is collected throughout the levels by smashing blocks, cutting grass and finding treasure chests. There is another type of coin in game, the ore, required to purchase optional upgrades for the swords, bow and max health points. Ores are hidden in big treasure chests and off-road exploration is needed to find them.</p><p>There is no hand-holding for the player, the game relies on level design to teach new mechanics. The game world is made of nine interconnected areas, containing a couple dozen teleporters which can be used for fast-traveling once activated.</p><p> </p><h2>OST</h2><figure data-ref-id="1300-2859796" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/31/319957/2859796-albumartwork.jpg" data-size="medium" data-align="right" data-ratio="1" data-width="400" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 400px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:100.0%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/31/319957/2859796-albumartwork.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-2859796"><img alt="Album Artwork" src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/31/319957/2859796-albumartwork.jpg" srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/31/319957/2859796-albumartwork.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" data-width="400"></a><figcaption>Album Artwork</figcaption></figure><table data-max-width="false"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Track #</th><th scope="col">Title</th><th scope="col">Length</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Hunter's Legacy Main Theme</td><td>3:47</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Intro</td><td>0:48</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Oma Forest</td><td>2:44</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Iripur Town</td><td>2:18</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Temple Path</td><td>1:22</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>And you are...</td><td>0:32</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Lullaby Swamp</td><td>3:01</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Hello, Morodir</td><td>0:26</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>Meeting the Mysterious Monk</td><td>0:20</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>Ancient Conifers</td><td>2:28</td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>Willow Forest</td><td>2:17</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>Acquiring an Orb</td><td>0:20</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>Snowed Volcano</td><td>2:41</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>Floating Plates</td><td>2:00</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>Morodir's Domain</td><td>4:24</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>Boss Fight</td><td>2:23</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>Final Showdown</td><td>4:05</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>The End</td><td>0:37</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Composers:</strong> Ave &amp; Vampiro</p><h4>CD1</h4><h4>CD2</h4><table data-max-width="false"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Track #</th><th scope="col">Title</th><th scope="col">Length</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Hunter's Legacy Main Theme (Side B)</td><td>2:07</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Prototype 1 (Unused)</td><td>1:42</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Prototype 2 (Unused)</td><td>1:14</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Prototype 3 (Unused)</td><td>2:34</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Prototype 4 (Unused)</td><td>0:52</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Prototype 5 (Unused)</td><td>1:20</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Prototype 6 (Unused)</td><td>0:52</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Open Chest Jingle</td><td>0:05</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><h2>System Requirements</h2><h3>Windows</h3><table data-max-width="true"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Minimum</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>OS:</strong> Windows 7</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Processor:</strong> Intel i3</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Memory:</strong> 2 GB RAM</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Graphics:</strong> Intel HD Graphics 2000</td></tr><tr><td><strong>DirectX:</strong> Version 9.0</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Storage:</strong> 2 GB available space</td></tr></tbody></table><table data-max-width="true"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Recommended</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>OS:</strong> Windows 8</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Processor:</strong> Intel i5</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Memory:</strong> 4 GB RAM</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Graphics:</strong> Intel HD Graphics 4000</td></tr><tr><td><strong>DirectX:</strong> Version 9.0</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Storage:</strong> 2 GB available space</td></tr></tbody></table>

Following the discovery of space travel 200 years earlier, there was a long period of peace and prosperity as the native Palmans began to visit and colonize the barren worlds of Motavia and Dezoris. But then, a nebulous and nefarious force appeared in the Algol system. It bore the guise of a new religion, promising immortality, and the elderly King Lassic became its first convert. Not long after, terrible monsters began roaming the wilderness of the Algol planets, the dead rose from their graves, and King Lassic started mercilessly oppressing his subjects. Lassic had become an evil necromancer, and a young man named Nero swore to vanquish him. But Nero was overwhelmed by Lassic's many powerful robotcops and slain.</p><p>At the start of the game, the player takes the role of <a href="/alis-landale/3005-5106/" data-ref-id="3005-5106">Alis Landale</a>, a teenage girl who witnesses the murder of her brother Nero by King Lassic's enforcers. Prior to his death, Nero tells Alis to find Odin, a legendary warrior who can help her in her quest for revenge. From there the player engages in quests that eventually bring Odin, a feline creature named Myau, and the Esper Noah together in an effort to overthrow King Lassic. Later in the game, foreshadowing leads the player to believe there may be even more to the story. Players eventually build a starship, a hovercraft, a land-rover and an ice drill to traverse the different planets' environments.</p><h2>Characters</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png" data-ref-id="1300-532999" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.75" data-width="640" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 640px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:75.0%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png" data-ref-id="1300-532999"><img alt="Alis, Noah, Odin and Myau" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png" data-srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png 640w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png 480w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png 320w"><noscript><img alt="Alis, Noah, Odin and Myau" src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png" srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png 640w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png 480w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/532999-phanstar011.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></noscript></a><figcaption>Alis, Noah, Odin and Myau</figcaption></figure><p>The main characters in Phantasy Star are:</p><ul><li><strong><a href="/alis-landale/3005-5106/" data-ref-id="3005-5106"><b>Alis</b></a>:</strong> Female lead character, sister to the murdered Nero, and party leader.

A menu in the upper right corner of the screen shows the player how many foes they are facing as well as their respective hit points.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png" data-ref-id="1300-533001" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.75" data-width="640" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 640px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:75.0%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png" data-ref-id="1300-533001"><img alt="A Dungeon" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png" data-srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png 640w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png 480w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png 320w"><noscript><img alt="A Dungeon" src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png" srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png 640w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png 480w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15568/533001-phanstar002.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></noscript></a><figcaption>A Dungeon</figcaption></figure><p>Dungeons are presented in a first-person perspective and are laid out on a grid pattern. Movement in a dungeon is done one step at a time, with a chance of engaging in battle on each step. Dungeons feature <a href="/trap-door/3055-2682/" data-ref-id="3055-2682">trap doors</a> that can drop the party multiple floors, and no indicators for direction or floor are available, leaving the player to handle mapping dungeons outside of the game itself (likely using graph paper). Combat within a dungeon is similar to combat on the overworld.</p><h2>Sequels</h2><p>Phantasy Star for the Master System was the first in the franchise, and was followed by a direct sequel on the <a href="/sega/3010-62/" data-ref-id="3010-62">Sega</a> Mega Drive (a.k.a. <a href="/genesis/3045-6/" data-ref-id="3045-6">Genesis</a>). Events in the first game are not a part of the sequel's main story until the end. Events in the first Phantasy Star game are directly mentioned in <a href="/phantasy-star-iv-the-end-of-the-millennium/3030-13493/" data-ref-id="3030-13493">Phantasy Star IV</a>, where a town has erected a statue to the hero Alis and her cat Myau.</p>

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Modeled after the original <a href="/command-conquer/3030-4384/" data-ref-id="3030-4384">Command &amp; Conquer</a>, 8-Bit Armies features a simple sidebar interface for base and unit construction and a linear tech tree. The game was released on April 22nd 2016 and features cross-platform multiplayer between GOG Galaxy and Steam as well as a skirmish mode and single player and co-op campaigns.</p><p>The single player campaign consists of 15 missions for the Renegades faction, with one main objective and two optional objectives per mission (the optional objectives are only available for normal and hard difficulties), which updates the player's starting loadout for both the next mission and when older missions are replayed. Main objectives unlock new structures and units available for construction, whereas optional objectives affect what the player will start with, which can be additional funds, units or base defenses.</p><h2>DLC</h2><p>On May 28th, 2016 a new faction was released for the game, called the Guardians, mostly modeled after Command &amp; Conquer's <a href="/global-defense-initiative/3015-2946/" data-ref-id="3015-2946">GDI</a> faction, having grenadier and sniper infantry units as well as <a href="/orca-aircraft/3055-5956/" data-ref-id="3055-5956">Orca style drone aircraft </a>and the <a href="/ion-cannon/3055-4533/" data-ref-id="3055-4533">Ion Cannon </a>super weapon, though also including the Stealth Tank and flamethrower turret more closely associated with The Brotherhood of Nod.</p><p>The DLC was released first only as a multiplayer and skirmish faction, but with a campaign set to be added later in June. The initial release price for the DLC was free of charge. Along with the new faction, a map editor and support for Steam Workshop was also added to the game.</p>
