A downloadable game for Windows

----------Story

Play as a small golem under the Evil Shaman's army who's been separated from it's troop, shambling towards an abandoned temple. A watchful presence observes the creature and warns of the coming onslaught of the visiting heroes with unique abilities.

Eliminate them one by one... Or y'all can be pals.


----------Gameplay

Well timed blocking and dodging is the absolute core of the gameplay. The longer you outlast your foe the more tired they become, that may open up an edge to slay your opponent... Or open dialogue. Just don't spam block or dodge.


----------The "Why"

I made Home Ward because I thought it'd be fun, It sure is a huge labor of love. Home Ward is envisioned as a short yet challenging boss rush focusing on well timed blocking and dodging, no upgrades, no weapon improvements,  just raw skill which is rewarded by slaying your opponent viciously or casual conversation. It maybe be frustrating but the main goal is to have fun through effort. I know you can do it!


----------Controls

J= ATTACK

SPACE = BLOCK

E = INTERACT

A, D = LEFT & RIGHT

W = JUMP

LSHIFT = DODGE

ESC = OPTIONS

(You can hold any key to skip the intro, I haven't added an indicator)

----------Developer Comments

THIS IS JUST THE DEVELOPMENT DEMO! Things are subject to change but nothing drastic to the core gameplay. Be sure to leave honest reviews!

I'll keep you posted about the full game.

Be sure to let me know of any bugs!  

Sincerely yours,

Steve Blace.
