Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking deep role-playing systems may find the progression limited to abilities, weapon upgrades, and purchasable items.
- Those who prefer varied genres or non-combat platforming may hit a wall when repeated encounters center on fighting monsters and traps.
- Players looking for climbing-focused exploration, such as in Jusant, may not find the same type of movement challenge.
Our take on The Curse of Zigoris
The bounce point arrives when combat becomes the main answer to hazards and enemy encounters. Players wanting a primarily calm exploration game, or a broad role-playing system beyond ability points and weapon upgrades, may lose interest there.
What is The Curse of Zigoris?
Play as Eva, a young elf witch seeking to break the curse placed on her village by the dark wizard Zigoris.
This 2D pixel-art platformer combines exploration with combat using a magical sword and spell attacks. Enemies and traps behave differently, allowing environmental hazards and enemy movements to turn against other foes. Defeating enemies grants ability points for learning new skills. The world includes non-player characters who provide information about its setting. Coins can be collected to improve Eva’s weapon and buy items. The adventure presents an atmospheric world populated by monsters that appear cute but remain dangerous.
