Our take on The Awakener: Forgotten Oath
Repeated death defines the structure: each return to the Nothingness develops abilities and talents, but removes the loot gathered during the previous attempt.
What is The Awakener: Forgotten Oath?
The Awakener: Forgotten Oath is a third-person rogue-like action RPG set in Sylvalond, a magical world drawn into the Nothingness by the Twelve Gods of Therad.
Players explore dungeons and fight demons with different combat styles, including swords and magic. Battles and deaths provide experiences that develop talents, abilities, and awakened powers, while each revival removes loot gathered during the previous run. Players operate multiple awakened adventurers and can expand the roster by freeing and recruiting additional characters. Holy relics let weapons use powers associated with different gods, while equipment belonging to past heroes can become artefacts with special abilities. The objective is to defeat the forces of Chaos, stop the Demon Lord’s revival, and prevent annihilation.
