You play as a fighter named Sen, who finds himself waking up in an alien world. Not knowing where he is or how he got here, he travels through this strange land and fights many dangerous enemies, helping him regain his memories and discover the truth about this beautiful and terrifying place.
Sen wields the power of a shapeshifting crystalline weapon, enabling him to swap weapon forms on the fly. Use the weapon swapping attacks to pull off powerful combos and deal more damage. How he fights is up to you, will you use a spear, a sword, a great hammer, or one of the many other forms that you will discover?
Each weapon form has a host of unique abilities and special attacks. Some are more focused on utility, while others do devastating damage. What weapon forms and skills you equip will greatly change how you approach combat.
As you explore the world, you will uncover many mysteries that not only reveal the nature of this land, but also empower Sen. As he regains his memories, he grows stronger and becomes a better fighter with more weaponry and abilities.
