Leshy

Leshy is an action game with RPG elements, which lets us take on the role of the title creature - Leshy - known from Slavic mythology. Game was developed by Gliwice-based studio Glivi Games and was published by RockGame.

Plot

The action of Leshy is set in the near future. In 2040 a powerful corporation from the perfume industry enters the forest with its machines, which it intends to raze to the ground. In order to meet the growing demands of its customers, the company will stop at nothing - even at bringing nature to the brink of destruction. Leshy, as befits a guardian of the forest, cannot allow this and decides to stand up to people and their technology.

Mechanics

In Leshy we observe the action from the third person perspective (TPP). The main element of the game are dynamic clashes with opponents. Leshy confronts people (including poachers and mercenaries working for the corporation), many of whom use exoskeletons, and faces powerful machines, led by mechs. The monster excels in hand-to-hand combat, but is outnumbered by his opponents, so he often has to use other methods. To win, the monster must set traps, summon other forest inhabitants for help, as well as change into different animals and use their abilities; for example, as a bear he has great strength, while in the form of an owl he can see the area from the air and plan further actions. As you progress, you develop Lesh's skills, which make him more powerful over time, allowing him to take on stronger opponents.

However, fighting enemies of nature is not all Leshy has to deal with. While exploring the forest, we meet other mythical creatures that inhabit it and learn more about the title character.

Technical aspects

Leshy runs on Unreal Engine 4 technology. Graphics presents high quality level. Both the well-designed protagonist and the environment with attention to detail can be liked; detailed models of enemies are also worthy of attention.
