EXCALIBURIAN!!
A downloadable game
On the first day, the Holy King created the heavens, and the Demon King created the earth.
On the second day, the Holy King created a hero to seal away the Demon King. The Holy King named the hero Alexander and bestowed upon him the four holy relics:
The helmet, Tarnhelm…
The shield, Aegis…
The breastplate, Judgment Armor…
And the sword, Excalibur…
But the strength of the relics alone were not enough, and Alexander fell in battle.
The Holy King resurrected Alexander, and created twelve gemstones to augment his strength. After another perilous fight, Alexander defeated the Demon King. The Holy King now ruled over both the heavens and the earth.
On the seventh day, the Holy King entrusted Alexander with a kingdom to rule. But to keep this kingdom, each of Alexander’s descendants must journey to the heavens and renew their earthly dominion.
And so, Alexander accepted the gift and named his kingdom Alexandria. Now, generations and generations after, there is another who must journey to the heavens…

Is there a Warrior Monk/Martial Artist Character/Class?
Also, umm... any GOOD werewolves?
Sorry, we don't really get too many of either of those anymore...
And before you ask, yes, I am THE Jon Talbain main. (Of the US at least)
Anyways, this looks fun, I'll try it out either way, but I'm in transit ATM.
Hello, thanks for your interest! Yes, the character "Brian" is a warrior, and the character "Enryuu" is a monk. Brian is recruitable right at the start, while Enryuu can be recruited a bit later on. There is also a werewolf enemy you can fight in the game.
So, no GOOD werewolves? Well, that's sad but standard, so it's OK. I'll give this game a go, been too busy lately.
LOL, cast Haste & Berserk on Brian and he becomes The FAST & FURIOUS Fighter! XD
(Sorry, I just had to make that joke, I love those movies, and Paul Walker RIP!) T_T; (I now shed Many Manly Tears, Kenshiro-Style!)
Anyways, thanks for the reply, and sorry if I'm goofy, I'm sugar rushing & jazzed on Java after a Jamocha Shake from teh Mermaid.
Also, does "Rouhana" mean "Wolf flower" or "Flower Wolf" by chance?
Rouhana is actually my last name IRL. It's Arabic, written like this: روحانا and pronounced "roo-ha-na." A rough translation is "our souls/spirits."
Ah, sorry. I'm Irish, but my wife is Japanese, can't help but be "going Japanese, I really think so" whenever I read/hear exotic/foreign words.
Cool name, cool meaning! LOL, persona final boss theme "The battle for Rouhana!" (The battle for everyone's souls from P3!) XD
I havent really played many RPGs but I had a pretty good time with this, IDK if the creator of this game reads comments anymore but nice job on this game :) I found secret bosses at the very end pretty cool too
Thank you!
youre welcome, do you still develop games?
Yes, I'm working on a follow-up to this game, but it's been taking me much more time than expected! I've been sharing updates so far on my twitter; I'm excited to share more information about it in the future.
😍
Really loving this. I just got my head handed to me by the Black Knight in the colosseum. Is his STR meant to immediately go back to normal after he charges for an attack? That seems odd to me.
Besides the Colosseum though I admit I'm a bit lost on where to go next. I just got sucked in by Leviathan and got the pirate in my party, which was neat. Past that though, I guess I should just keep boating around until I find the next thingamajig?
Great game at any rate. I have a lot going on but I hope I can make time to finish it. :)
Thank you for playing! I think you might have an earlier version of the game--I originally made him do that because I thought it was funny, but in one of the later updates I actually decided to change it to last for 5 turns because I thought it would confuse people.
The game is pretty open-ended, so it can be easy to get lost! Someone on Steam made a guide for the game; if you are interested, you can find it here.
Hello Bulbahulk,
Sorry for the confusion--both versions have the same content. The version on Itch is packaged as a zip file, which compresses data. After extracting the zip file, the contents will be around 260 MB (the same as the Steam version). If you install the game through Steam, it instead automatically downloads the extracted package for you.
Played it, and it was real fun! I love the art in this and the little stories that were there were fun. Don't really have much else to say beyond it was a good time!
If yall ever make another game I will 100% be there to see what it is because this was good work!!
Thank you!!
I'm excited to play this!!! Came here from Hawk's stream. :3
I love this game. And I love streaming it.
Thanks so much, Hawk!
