Our take on Ukhar
The 22-level campaign provides a defined progression, but that structure limits the breadth of exploration available in a more open-ended adventure. Its focus is on combat and story segments rather than a wide range of activities.
What is Ukhar?
Ukhar is a 2D action-adventure game set in a sword-and-sorcery world.
Players control a young barbarian facing monstrous creatures, raiders, and the necromancer Kairus while trying to rescue Neia. Combat uses several weapon types, and the character grows stronger while advancing through the levels. The campaign contains 22 levels across seven locations. Hand-drawn artwork presents sections of the story between gameplay segments, while a soundtrack selected from Purple Planet accompanies the adventure. The story begins after Kairus’s forces destroy Ukhar’s camp and kidnap Neia as they move toward Avendia.
