About Aurebloom Tales
The Rabbit Kingdom is shrouded in a darkness unseen for a century—strange things happen and sinister forces stir beneath the surface. To find the legendary Golden Apple said to turn the tide of fate, nimble rabbit swordsman Kornimo sets out on an unknown journey. Along the way, you'll meet with companions of all kinds, and cross blades with deadly enemies. Raise your sword and rope, traverse treacherous terrain, plunge into ancient labyrinths, and cleave through the conspiracy looming over the kingdom!
Taking inspiration from classic action-adventure titles like the 2D Legend of Zelda series, the game features a vast, interconnected world packed with treasure chests and hidden items for you to explore freely. Purchase map fragments from merchants to pinpoint buried treasure; slash through brush and boulders to uncover paths leading to secret areas; wield your rope to swing across chasms and trigger mechanisms; conquer 10 meticulously crafted dungeon temples. Enjoy the thrill of cracking the sandbox world, one hidden secret at a time.
Agile rabbit swordsman Kornimo uses a versatile moveset for every encounter. Evade with a swift, smooth backstep, land a perfectly timed parry to unleash a counter-slash, or even deflect enemy projectiles right back at them! Wield your rope creatively. Snag and fling weaker enemy, or yank a staggered boss in close for a punishing strike.
With over 40 varied enemy types and 14 distinct bosses, combined with interactive terrain and items, every fight delivers fast-paced, satisfying hardcore actions.
Collect orbs throughout your journey and socket them into your sword to boost stats or trigger powerful special effects. Chaining identical orbs activates bonus synergy buffs. Hunt down secret orb scrolls hidden across the world, and arrange orbs in specific sequences to unlock exclusive bonuses. Mix and match freely to craft your own combat style.
The Rabbit Kingdom is no empty backdrop. Upon completing the tutorials, a wealth of side quests and unexpected encounters await your exploration. Across the overworld you'll cross paths with varies NPCs—some are enemies, others turn out to be your friends. Help them or defeat them; either way, you won’t regret it. It’s not just about the quest rewards, but the adventure and growth that matter most.
