The Heart of Resistance
In the corrupted depths of Atlantis, where Poseidon's madness has transformed paradise into an underwater nightmare, combat isn't just about winning battles—it's about survival, resistance, and the hope of eventual liberation. Our combat system brings this epic struggle to life through strategic turn-based battles that reward tactical thinking over button mashing.
Pokemon-Inspired Strategic Combat

“In the depths where light fears to tread, where the bones of civilization lie scattered beneath crushing darkness, a tyrant god holds court among the ruins of paradise.”
