The story

Dash into a stylish and thrilling action-adventure platformer set in a mythological Persian world where the boundaries of time and space are yours to manipulate. Play as Sargon and evolve from sword-wielding prodigy to extraordinary legend as you master acrobatic combat and unlock new Time Powers and unique super abilities.

What it’s like

Painterly 2D art in saturated jewel tones: deep teal and indigo shadows, gold and ochre sunlight, and the hand-drawn sheen of ancient Persian motifs carried into a mythic, slightly dreamlike underworld of ruined palaces, hanging gardens and mosaic-tiled halls. Animation is fluid and expressive, with flowing capes and sparks of time-magic that bend the scenery, while the soundtrack leans on lively strings, percussion and hints of traditional instruments that swell during fights and drop to quiet ambience when you explore. The vibe is bright, kinetic and wondrous, with a touch of melancholy in its ruins. It suits an evening of focused play, a weekend session, or a long stretch of backtracking through familiar rooms, once new abilities open doors you could not reach before. Pacing is brisk in combat and unhurried in exploration, with a satisfying loop of rewinding mistakes and rediscovering the map. The emotional register is adventurous and warm, following a young swordsman's growth into a confident hero. Violence is stylised and frequent but bloodless, with cartoonish impacts and no gore, and tension comes from difficult boss fights rather than dread. Ideal for players who enjoy precise platforming, sprawling metroidvania maps and fantasy worlds with visual flair.
