Arelite Core is a fantasy role-playing game that draws on classic console RPGs. You follow Karden, a blacksmith still learning his trade, who is pulled into a struggle against Talameq, an ancient being that has returned with plans to consume the world. Along the way he gathers companions and travels through towns, dungeons and open areas.
Battles are turn-based, and the game leans toward a traditional structure of exploration, story scenes and party management. It is a single-player game with a gentle learning curve, suited to players who are fond of older-style JRPGs and want a straightforward adventure rather than a sprawling one. Steam achievements and trading cards are included.
