Who are you, Shaman?
Long, long ago, when the old world was engulfed by the Abyss, the Great Shaman saved his people by giving them a new home. It was a world above the Abyss, called the Ark. Many years have passed, generations have changed, and the Great Shaman has become nothing more than a hero of old legends. However, the Abyss has not disappeared. One day, it began seeping into the lands of the Ark, drop by drop. And just when hope was fading, the Shaman returned from the darkness.
The Shaman's Ark is a metroidvania game with an unconventional combat system, numerous characters, quests and an open world for exploration. Dark secrets, captivating adventures, and encounters with the spawns of the Abyss await you!
The rhythm-based combat is fun and unique. The general atmosphere of the environments and story was good. I enjoyed this a lot.
You know that game that takes you by surprise? Shaman's Ark did that for me in spades. Before I knew it I was immersed amd didn't want to put it down. The story telling is great, the gameplay addictive, and the exploration made me want to search every nook and cranny. I had way more fun playing this than I expected, and probably more than most other indie games I played this year. *side note, the devs were generously communicative and made patches immediately after I asked about something - never before has that happened to me. Amazing.
I'm having a great time with the game so far! I love how it's like Paper Mario, Hollow Knight, and a Hatsune Miku rhythm game all got thrown into a blender and this game was the result. The world is interesting and the unique combat is really fun and engaging. I'll definitely keep playing!
This game is pretty fire. The rhythm based combat is incredible. The art is gorgeous. The biomes are unique. The story is solid. There are 3 different endings to unlock. I was really impressed by this game. My only complaint is that there is a missable boss and missable collectibles which shouldnt be a thing in a metroidvania. Besides that this is a must play.
Really cool soulse like metroidvania ! Interesting world and charming art ! good job
