Synopsis
Denari is a narrative action game about a boy with telekinetic powers who must fight to save his people from the invasion of an empire.
Mechanics
The Blade
Training to earn his place as a warrior monk, Taiu's bone-carved blade hasn't left his side for years. Fast and ferocious swordplay is his staple on the battlefield.
Redirect
Taiu is granted the ability to catch small projectiles with his mind and redirect them. He can stop arrows, grenades and more then throw them back at enemies.
Blast
As his powers grow, Taiu becomes able to conjure telekinetic waves of energy that send enemies flying into one another, and into objects in the environment.
Discover more of Taiu’s powers throughout the adventure!
ENEMIES
Phantom
Members of the Summoner’s personal hit squad who can teleport at will. Chasing down a Phantom is futile, but countering their attacks might do the trick.
Titan
Elite units of the Denari army, wielding fists that pack terrifying power. Attacking head-first may be unwise, but blasting other enemies at them would wear them down.
Angel
Commanders of the Denari forces, they are graceful yet deadly. Their shock magic is swift and punishing, but with precision, even lightning can be redirected.
Battle these formidable members of the Denari army and more as the war rages on!
Story
Taiu, an aspiring warrior monk finds his village under attack by forces of the Denari empire, led by a maniacal sorcerer, the Summoner.
The goddess of his people bestows Taiu with incredible telekinetic powers and he must now use them to defend his homeland.
Taiu's faith and strength will be tested in an epic battle against an overwhelming force that threatens to destroy everything he knows and loves.
Will you help Taiu to save his people from the tyranny of the Denari?
