The Tale of Akio

About us:

We are Power Ninja Studios, a group of university students that have come together to make this video game. As of yet the game is not finished and is still in the "polishing" phase where we sort out bugs and inconsistencies.

The game:

Set in medieval Japan, this small hack & slash narrative driven game will win your sword in the fight for justice!.

Shogun 'Oda' has been ruling the land with an iron fist; any town or city that dares to refuse his terms gets wiped out. You play as Akio, a survivor of one of these attacks. Akio has declared vengence on Shogun Oda and will not rest until justice for his family and loved ones has been claimed. Akios long adventure leads him to the White Tigers, a rebellion filled with outlaws, Ronins and the like where he becomes one of them, learns their ways, trains how to fight, to one day fulfil his goal.

Vertical slice:

The game we have made starts the player in the Shogan's high mountain palace dungeons. You must break out, find your way to the Shoguns palace and claim justice for his crimes.

After playing, please fill out this feedback form so we can improve on the game: https://goo.gl/forms/LRX7nEiba7sXrndG3
