It's finally here people! Since GOKEN's Early Access release back in July, it's hard to believe that it has already been two full months... With great help from the community and insights from extremely helpful reviewers, GOKEN has reached a stage where we feel comfortable saying that it is now a full retail product! Allow us to "re-introduce" you to GOKEN.

-Scenario-

Long ago, when gods lived amongst people... There lived a swordsman who was given five swords forged by god himself. Using these swords, the swordsman brought peace and order to the world. People called the swordsman, "Wielder of the Five Swords"... One day, during a fete to praise the gods, the blades of the swordsman turn against the gods for reasons unknown. One of the gods, Ozone, furious with all his powers, sealed the swordsman away at the top of a mountain now known as Swords Peak. This tale begins 5,000 years after the battle between the two, near the small village of Cardina.

-Game Overview-

Seamless open-world game mechanics While the game features a rather old school “quarter view” mechanic, the map transitions and event scenes, even the combat is all seamless as can be to enhance the overall gaming experience. Real time strategic action battle system Utilizing 2 primary attack buttons, users can assign different weapons to each button to create a unique combo that fits the users need as they go. Monsters, bosses and stage gimmicks can require a specific type of weapon at times creating opportunities for users to strategize their best route of approach. Customizable Tattoo system Utilizing "tattoos", users are given specific points upon leveling to get the protagonist inked as a form of powering up so it could be built to one’s own. Raising MAX HP and Stamina, learning new and special moves are just a few of many ways players are able to customize their character depending on their play style.
