Sequel to Highly Acclaimed The Mark of Kri™ Offers Gamers Dramatic, Artistic Style Gameplay Combined with Online, Collaborative Combat

Description

Rise of the Kasai, the sequel to the critically acclaimed The Mark of Kri™, builds upon the original with new storylines, characters, weapons, and cooperative AI-assisted gameplay - offering a game three-times larger than the original. With 10 captivating levels and numerous collaborative fighting stages, gamers will start the journey by playing through events that took place 10 years prior to The Mark of Kri and then jump to 10 years later when a series of new spells have taken hold. Players can assume the role of Rau, Tati, Griz, or Baumusu, each with their own weapons, deadly combos, and unique animations. As the last of the “Rakus,” together they must scout, strategize, stealth and fight through richly detailed 3D environments, where they will discover the truth about the family’s dark secret, and the origins of the Kasai.

Rise of the Kasai presents a new and innovative approach to fighting adventure games. With the critically-acclaimed combat system, gamers can attack in stealth mode or use the best weapon available for the situation. Up to nine opponents in the player’s range can be attacked by using the right analog stick to select and assign specific or multiple buttons for lethal combos. Combined with artistically sketched movies, and a colorful cast of characters, the engaging storyline of Rise of the Kasai will immerse gamers into a world of dark magic, discovery and conflict.
