Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking straightforward combat may hit a wall when survival depends on predicting movement and preparing pitfalls.
- Those wanting a relaxed pace may bounce off the brief openings and lethal pressure in dungeon encounters.
- Players looking for cooperative tower defense may prefer Dungeon Defenders: Awakened’s team-based structure.
Our take on Ancient Weapon Holly
The bounce point arrives when direct attacks stop being enough: players must read enemy movement, reshape the ground, and time a pitfall. Anyone unwilling to build encounters around terrain control will meet the game’s central obstacle early.
What is Ancient Weapon Holly?
Ancient Weapon Holly is a roguelike action game set in dungeons.
Holly must protect an altar that contains her stolen power while destroying gates and clearing stages. Combat centers on changing the terrain: break the ground, block enemy routes, predict movement, and lure foes into pitfalls before burying them. Defeated enemies provide enhancement items used to evolve Holly and unlock altar functions. A skill-tree format offers different upgrade paths based on the chosen strategy. The story follows Holly, an autonomous weapon sealed underground for thousands of years, as she awakens with hatred toward humanity. Her former abilities have weakened, leaving her able to damage the ground and walls only slightly.
