Tales of Acilain

Tales of Acilain

​One kingdom. A century-old curse. A missing arm turned into a spectral weapon.​For a hundred years, the Dark Man has emerged from the abyss to claim a soul. This year, the Pit chose you. But you didn't die in the fall. Saved by a mysterious spirit, you must now navigate the ruins of a fallen empire, hunt down the four corrupted Generals, and break the cycle of blood once and for all.

​KEY FEATURES

• ​Wield the Phantom Limb: Your missing arm is now your greatest weapon. Use spectral energy to grapple across chasms, manipulate massive environmental puzzles, and tear through the darkness with telekinetic strength.

• ​Visceral Tactical Combat: Master a high-stakes, methodical combat system. Chain together devastating 3-hit melee combos, unleash magical abilities on the fly, and use your phantom blade to exploit enemy weaknesses.
