Description

Heart Forth, Alicia is a Metroidvania RPG about a young wizard pursued by a terror in the sky.

On the night of your coming of age trial, the sky rains fire over your village, scorching everything in its path. Soon, you’re catapulted into an ongoing war between the wizards of the forest and the desert army of the West. Desperate to reunite with your loved ones, you embark on a journey across the landscapes of a beautiful but threatening world, sculpted by the pulsing violence of its past.

At this game's core is an ode to the classics. Remember the electrifying gameplay of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the devious dungeons of the Zelda series, and the rich, more serious narrative of Xenogears or Final Fantasy Tactics?

Heart Forth, Alicia brings a modern take on a beloved genre, combining the tight gameplay from the classic action platformers with an epic and serious narrative akin to the iconic '90s RPGs.

History

Heart Forth, Alicia started as a small, personal project by Alonso Martin in 2007. Since then, the project has gone through many growth stages. In 2014, Heart Forth, Alicia had a successful Kickstarter campaign with backers pledging over $232,000 to make Heart Forth, Alicia a reality.

Heart Forth, Alicia is coming to PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS Vita and Wii U.
