Our take on The Girl from Arkanya
Rather than keeping a single hero in focus, the adventure makes switching between Marisa and Kapi part of solving challenges. Its dungeon rewards also include dance-activated spells, adding a ritual-like way to use newly gained abilities.
What is The Girl from Arkanya?
This top-down pixel-art action RPG follows treasure hunter Marisa and Kapi, a magical capybara, through the jungles of Amazonia.
Explore 7 zones, meet people, discover landmarks, and search for treasure. The journey also leads through 6 themed dungeons tied to the story. Marisa can use 15 equippable tools to solve puzzles, cross terrain, and fight enemies; some tools can be upgraded.
