Technical aspects

Kingsgrave is an action adventure game enriched with RPG elements and mechanics taken from the metroidvania genre. The game, which was inspired by the first installments of The Legend of Zelda series, was developed by the independent studio Egg or Chicken Games, and its release was handled by the Alawar company.

Plot

Kingsgrave takes us to a fantasy land whose glory days are already behind it. After a terrible disease decimated its population, the few inhabitants who managed to survive left these lands, and their place was taken by horrific creatures devouring everything that stands in their way. However, not everything is lost, because a long-dead king is brought back to life and his task is to cleanse the kingdom of the plague.

Mechanics

In Kingsgrave we observe the action from a bird's eye view. The adventure leads us through various locations - from forests and grassy plains, through deserts, ending in volcanic valleys. Before we can bring back subjects who will breathe life into the land again, we must face the dangers lurking in these places, discover their secrets and solve the puzzles hidden there. Various adversaries stand in our way, with whom we engage in dynamic clashes, making use of melee weapons and various combat skills.

As progress is made, not only does the land regain its former glory, but we also grow in strength. By collecting resources, obtaining better equipment, constructing buildings and eliminating enemies, we unlock abilities that allow us to face increasingly greater challenges and provide us with access to new locations. All this means that the more we commit ourselves to rebuilding the kingdom, the more powerful we will become and the easier the task entrusted to us will be to accomplish.
