About Folk Hero

Fight with quick or heavy attacks, blocks, parries and dashes while learning enemy behavior. Combine classes, artifacts and weapons with elemental runes, including rune combinations that add new weapon effects. Procedural biomes hide secrets and branching story endings, and enemies can damage each other if maneuvered into conflict.

The journey investigates Buyan’s mysterious arrival and brings Slavic legends such as Leshy, Domovoy and Rusalka into its pixel-art world.
