The Bludgeoning of the Tyrant KingCurse of the Stars

A 2D action adventure for phones and computers, coming soon from TFINN.

The Bludgeoning of the Tyrant King: Curse of the Stars is a 2D action adventure, told as a legend. You are Sir Roderick Vane, the Undaunted, and you descend the Prunkenstein Vaults beneath a fairy-tale castle to break the Curse of the Stars and bring the Tyrant King to account.

Run, jump, climb and swim through the Vaults; fight goblins, archers and the Tyrant's Guard with sword and shield, block and parry, and shoot with the bow; find the Kingbreaker; take the seals that open the Sealed Door; and face a dragon at the foot of the Grand Stair. The Loremaster narrates as you go, and the dungeon's staff have plenty to say for themselves, in German, with subtitles.

What's in it

Sword, shield and bow

Strike, block and parry, throw rocks and bombs, and shoot what you can't reach.

Legendary loot

Chests in every hall, gold to spend and the Kingbreaker to find.

A merchant and a forge

Potions, elixirs, feathers, fireballs and bombs; a tempered hammer and a reinforced shield.

Skills in the stars

A skill point at every level, spent in the constellations over the fountain.

Dragons

Ashmaw flies, rains fire and floods its arena with flame.

Told as a legend

Fully voiced: the Loremaster, Sir Roderick and the dungeon's own staff.
