Our take on Zahalia: The Knights of Galiveth
The character-based exploration comes with a permanent cost: losing one knight can remove access to that character's items and routes. This makes experimentation carry lasting consequences, while the current older build also limits the presentation to a version the vendor says has problems.
What is Zahalia: The Knights of Galiveth?
Zahalia: The Knights of Galiveth is an action RPG built around exploration, character switching, and permanent death.
The game includes eight knights, each with separate levels, health, mana, statistics, skills, and inventories. Switching between characters can change which areas are reachable: some locations are limited to particular knights, while others require cooperation between multiple characters. If a knight loses all health, that character is permanently gone and any dependent items or routes may become inaccessible.
Players can follow alternate paths toward objectives while the story centers on stopping Dark Prince Rhigor from using the Ethi to spread the Darkness across the realm. The current version is an older playable build with acknowledged problems, and a new version is being worked on.
