Fight as a Transcendent, a powerful warrior blessed by the gods with incredible power. 15 years after all the Transcendents were wiped out, awaken in a mysterious crystal, and battle your way to the capital to discover your dark past and fight for your future, and the future of the world.

Hack and Slash

Use your divine sword to hack and slash multiple waves of enemies and bosses. Upgrade your health, stamina, and spark as you progress through Thalos to get to the capital. Unlock many lightning abilities to deal massive damage to groups of enemies, and use your lightning bolt to stun enemies before taking them down.

A Looming Darkness

Follow the guidance of a cloaked figure to journey to the capital and discover a looming darkness that threatens to engulf all of Thalos. Forge your sword in the forge city of Fornax.
