Tales of Acilain

Tales of Acilain

​One kingdom. A century-old curse. A missing arm turned into a spectral weapon.

​For a hundred years, the Dark Man has emerged from the abyss to claim a soul. This year, the Pit chose you. But you didn't die in the fall. Saved by a mysterious spirit, you must now navigate the ruins of a fallen empire, hunt down the four corrupted Generals, and break the cycle of blood once and for all.

​KEY FEATURES

• ​Wield the Phantom Limb: Your missing arm is now your greatest weapon. Use spectral energy to grapple across chasms, manipulate massive environmental puzzles, and tear through the darkness with telekinetic strength.

• ​Absorb the Essences of Generals: Defeat the four Great Generals of the Old Kingdom to steal their unique spirit powers. Each victory evolves your abilities, unlocking access to new, atmospheric worlds—from the stormy outskirts to the treacherous Ice Castle.

• ​Visceral Tactical Combat: Master a high-stakes, methodical combat system. Chain together devastating 3-hit melee combos, unleash magical abilities on the fly, and use your phantom blade to exploit enemy weaknesses.

• ​Drop-In Local Co-Op: Don’t face the abyss alone. Press START on a second controller at any time to summon a Spirit Clone. Experience the entire journey with a friend in seamless local co-op.

• ​A Dark, Branching World: Solve Zelda-style puzzles and explore linear paths with hidden secrets. Rescue captive spirits to uncover the truth behind King Etso’s final, desperate curse.
