Denari is a narrative-driven hack and slasher with a telekinetic twist. It tells the story of a boy who is aided by the spirits of the dead to save his people from an invading empire.
RPG Gamers summaryIn the upcoming release of “Denari,” players can anticipate a narrative-driven hack and slash game, imbued with a unique telekinetic flair. This game unfolds the tale of a boy who, with the aid of spirits from the afterlife, strives to safeguard his people against an encroaching empire.
This unique game exhibits the signature toon-style artwork of Ninja Kiwi veteran Tamihana Greaves. Alongside this, a potent soundtrack by the award-winning composer David Mason, promises to provide a captivating auditory experience.
The gameplay of “Denari” goes beyond your classic hack and slash. It incorporates the ability for players to wield the divine power of the goddess Qira. In the midst of combat against a relentless army, the use of these telekinetic abilities will be paramount for players seeking a strategic edge.
Features range from being able to intercept and redirect enemy ranged attacks (with some projectiles inflicting AOE damage upon redirected hits), to releasing a telekinetic blast capable of repelling enemies. Players will also enjoy precision counters, quick dash moves, and unique execution moves for each enemy.
At the heart of the game is Taiu, a young orphaned protagonist. Raised in the serene fishing village of Port Nali, Taiu has aspirations of joining the ranks of the Apostles of Qira – an elite cadre of warrior monks who are devout servants of goddess Qira.
Adding more vivacity to the game is Teach, Taiu’s quirky mentor, a former Apostle. Driven by perfection, Teach invests himself in training Taiu, even at the peril of his protégé’s life.
“Denari” is rooted in the land of Qira where players can explore a multitude of vibrant toon-style landscapes, ranging from the sunny expanse of Port Nali to the lively riverside capital city of Madea.
As the game progresses, Taiu is gifted with mystifying powers during an unexpected trip to a spirit world. These powers intensify with the progress in the game as Taiu traverses between worlds, absorbing wisdom from the spirits.
Anticipation for “Denari” is high, and avid game enthusiasts eagerly await this unique blend of hack and slash gameplay with narrative-driven adventure.
