Our take on Roah
Instead of following a fixed platforming route, Roah combines open-world exploration with a non-linear adventure path. Progress also depends on collecting forms for puzzles and environmental traversal, while combat borrows the move variety of fighting games.

Players explore an open world, encounter different factions, and investigate the force draining the planet's lifeforce. The adventure follows a non-linear path, with new abilities, skills, moves, and forms to obtain and master. Forms also allow Roah to solve puzzles and overcome environmental obstacles.
