Shenzhen BINGOBELL recently revealed 20 minutes of gameplay footage for their highly anticipated semi-open world action-adventure game, KAKU: Ancient Seal. Set to launch on Steam Early Access on May 4th, the game promises a 30+ hour open-ended campaign, complete with intricate puzzles, diverse enemies, and a vast world to explore.
In KAKU: Ancient Seal, players will journey through four expansive maps, each representing one of the four elements: wind, fire, water, and earth. The game’s protagonist, Kaku, is a young man from the snowy mountains who accidentally passes a mysterious test, thrusting him into an epic adventure alongside a magical flying pig named Piji. Together, they must recover the power of the elements and combat the formidable monsters that have absorbed this ancient power.
With a focus on stylish, creative combat, KAKU: Ancient Seal allows players to develop their own fighting styles by utilizing a variety of skills and equipment. Choose from an arsenal of swords, shields, ranged weapons, and elemental pellets to defeat your enemies and upgrade your abilities for more powerful attacks.
The game also challenges players to solve puzzles using the power of the elements. Each of the four elements has unique characteristics, which players will have to master in order to uncover the ancient temple hidden deep within the Elemental Lands. This fabled temple is said to hold the origin of the world: the elemental spirit.
As Kaku and Piji traverse the Elemental Lands, they’ll encounter talking stone men, witness intricate tribal conflicts, and meet enigmatic women with strange backgrounds. To help players travel freely through this rich world, Crystal Towers are scattered across the landscape, enabling teleportation between locations. However, it’s important to remember that there are hidden secrets in every corner, so don’t rely on fast travel too often!
KAKU: Ancient Seal is set in an ancient continent following a cataclysmic event. The world was initially forged by the endless power of the elements, but when the elemental spirits dissipated, the world collapsed and split into four distinct Elemental Lands. By exploring this treacherous terrain, conversing with its inhabitants, and uncovering lore, players will gradually unveil the truth behind the disaster.
With its combination of engaging combat, elemental puzzle-solving, and a captivating narrative set in a rich, expansive world, KAKU: Ancient Seal is sure to capture the imagination of action-adventure enthusiasts. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Steam Early Access release on May 4th, and prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey through the Elemental Lands.
