🛡️Balor's Chosen

📜Story

The ways of the old gods are slowly fading away as the landscape in ancient Ireland starts to shift towards a new way of life. Still loyal to those who watched over the lands for centuries past, you have been blessed by the Demon King himself and the leader of the Fomorians Balór as you have been chosen for a higher purpose. Carry out his wishes and cleanse the sacred lands of those who dare tresspass upon them.

Your pouch has been touched by Balór himself giving it powers beyond any mortals comprehension. Collect the neccessary ingredients to craft powerful potions that will be capable of calling upon the powers of the gods themselves when consumed. With every kill Balórs bloodlust strengthens, allowing your mortal body to withstand greater power, giving you access to stronger abilities. 

Darkness is your weapon, cover the land in shadow and navigate through the watchful eyes of those who surround you. Take them out in secret, until the king has no one left to protect him from Balórs judgement. Leave none standing and let the hills run red with the blood of the damned.


How to Play

  • Gather ingredients around the map to combine and create many different stat-boosting potions.
  • Satiate your bloodlust by killing enemies, gaining access to stronger magics
  • Your light metre will attract nearby enemies when depleted, keep it full by staying out of the light sources.
  • Run back into the darkness to escape those who pursue you and leave them lost.
  • Tackle the challenge however you wish, maximise stealth and pick off the enemy one by one, or rampage through the land facing scores of men at a time. You get to choose your gameplay.
  • Impress Balór with ruthless efficiency, all aspects of gameplay effect your final score so there is no room for complacency.  Leave your high scores down below!
