Play as Axel Lyre, as he journeys across the shire with his trusty squire.
The villages are in danger from nearby monsters, and they're looking for someone to protect them! Axel Lyre could be that someone... except he has no intention of actually fighting any REAL monsters! Instead, his squire dresses in a monster costume and pretends to fight, so he can gain the trust of the townsfolk and take their gold.
During the stage fight, icons will move across the top of the screen. Hit the WASD keys in time with the music to perform moves! Some moves have to be matched, but blank icons let you fill in the gaps with your own flair! Just try not to:
- beat the monster too easily
- get beaten back by the monster
- accidentally skewer your squire.
See the 4th screenshot* for more information about the controls.
Note that:
- on the main menu, press ENTER to start the game.
- on the map screen, click the VISIT button on an adjacent village to go there
- on the village screen, press SPACE to start the fight!
