The war has begun

The death of King Haziel of Draken provokes important political movements. His son Hazulen proclaims himself sovereign and summons the demons of the First Hierarchy to reinforce his mandate and declare that everything under heaven belongs to him. Thereafter, the war will spread with the aim of conquering Dracorum. In this process he will be helped by demons known as Shadows, who will have to fight against the rebels. It is an army made up of the kings of Draconia, who will try to stop Hazulem. However, after years of war, Princess Hazulka is the only survivor, although she remains kidnapped and in the custody of her captors.

HOLMGANG: Memories of the Forgotten has several characters, each with their own combat style and executions. It will be possible to improve and customize the protagonists through the combos editor, so that each one has the option to adapt the game to their needs. The enemies will have different patterns and weapons, but also different weak points.

The video game is scheduled for October 2021, currently only on PC. As usual, the campaign offers different rewards depending on the contribution of the patron.
