Our take on Stone Guardian
The focus on a story-driven journey across two worlds comes with a narrower activity mix: progression centers on combat, puzzles, quests, and skill-stone collection rather than a single specialized mechanic.
What is Stone Guardian?
Play as the Stone Guardian while searching for a stolen stone that an enemy plans to use to gain unmatched strength.
The third-person action-adventure takes place across the Human world and the Magical world, connected by teleports or special entrances. Follow the storyline through varied gameplay, fight bosses and other enemies, and solve puzzles or complete tasks to continue. Side quests provide skill stones, while hidden stones can be discovered during exploration. Each skill stone grants one skill point, which can be spent to improve skills. The story concerns restoring balance between the two worlds before the stone releases its full power.
