Heart Forth, Alicia
Steam
Heart Forth, Alicia is a Metroidvania RPG about a young wizard pursued by a terror in the sky. On the night of your coming of age trial, the sky rains fire over your village, scorching everything in its path. Soon, you’re catapulted into an ongoing war between the wizards of the forest and the desert army of the West. Desperate to reunite with your loved ones, you embark on a journey across the landscapes of a beautiful but threatening world, sculpted by the pulsing violence of its past. At this game's core is an ode to the classics. Remember the electrifying gameplay of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the devious dungeons of the Zelda series, and the rich, more serious narrative of Xenogears or Final Fantasy Tactics? Heart Forth, Alicia brings a modern take on a beloved genre, combining the tight gameplay from the classic action platformers with an epic and serious narrative akin to the iconic '90s RPGs.

Rather than being a stereotypical spellcaster, Alicia is a warrior-wizard skilled with both weapons and magic alike. Thanks to the Wizard's Lace, her enchanted whip, she can choose not to always have to rely on magic to get the job done. Throughout the game, you'll be able to dramatically improve your abilities with the Lace and deliver progressively more devastating attacks as you acquire upgrades to increase its damage, range, apply further enchantments, unlock mighty special attacks, and more.

Whether Metroidvania or RPG, a great game in either of these genres requires a great world. Designed in the interconnective spirit of Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Heart Forth, Alicia is set in the Valley of Éliadin. We've done our utmost to make it an exciting and memorable setting, filled with twisting paths and unforeseen peril. Within the Valley you'll adventure through over 17 vast and different regions, from the great Forests of Verílion to the desolate Áurin Desert, or from the ruins of Elenia to the bustling cities of Blivek, and from the tallest mountains to the most entrenched abysses of the world. This Valley is a land teeming with hidden secrets, long-forgotten dungeons, powerful artifacts, and lethal surprises.
