Our take on Tower of Ardia
The tower climb is linked to a personal rescue mission: Relia seeks magic to treat her sister's condition. That gives the ascent a family-centered story goal alongside the challenge of reaching the top and resisting the tower's influence.
What is Tower of Ardia?
Relia enters the Tower of Ardia seeking wish-granting magic that could restore her sister's weakened body.
The tower holds the powers of the witch Ardia, whose magic was sealed there after her death. Many adventurers have tried and failed to reach that power, and a guild in the town of Ardia now checks whether challengers are qualified. Play as Relia and climb the tower one floor at a time, facing its varied floors while resisting a corrupting force. The game uses traditional JRPG gameplay and offers branching endings. Its story follows Relia's attempt to save her sister and the secrets surrounding the two sisters and the tower.
