The Relic: First Guardian

The Relic: First Guardian is an action-RPG at the crossroads of Soulslike and heroic fantasy, developed by the Korean studio Project Cloud Games. Immersed in the devastated world of Arsiltus, ravaged by the void born from the destruction of a great relic, you play as a First Guardian tasked with gathering its fragments to close the breach and save what remains of civilization.

The game relies on demanding, fast-paced and readable melee combat rather than simple level farming, with millimeter-precise dodges, counterattacks and stamina management during confrontations. Between two colossal bosses, you'll explore a semi-open world inspired by Asian myths and folklore, where each area tells the fall of Arsiltus through its ruins, its survivors and its broken memories.
