Anuchard

Freedom Games

The kingdom of Anuchard has fallen. Generations after the collapse, its surviving descendants have chosen you to become The Bellwielder of the magical Audros Bell. Go forth, battle monsters, solve puzzles, and restore Anuchard to its former skyward glory! Anuchard was known as a place of wonder and peace, a land of limitless bounty suspended in the heavens above. Five ancient Guardians gave the island their blessings... Until one day they left without a word. The Anuchardian paradise fell from the skies, crashing onto the world below. Only a tiny speck of an island survived the fall. The rest has been coalesced underground into a twisted mass of winding passages full of wild magic and vicious monsters, known simply as The Dungeon. Generations passed as few survivors eked out an existence in the Orchard, the sole village on the surviving island, which maintains the few remains of Anuchardian magic. Farmers tend to the fields while scavengers pick through the bones of the kingdom. All await the Chosen One, the Bellwielder, who will take up the Audros Bell and enter the Dungeon, wake the Guardians from their slumber, and bring back paradise. Be judged worthy and take up the mantle of the Bellwielder. The Dungeon awaits! The Bell Tolls For everyone and everything. You are the Bellwielder and the Audros Bell is your best friend. Master the Bell! Not just as a weapon, but as a most vital tool for overcoming puzzles and obstacles. A bell can be more than just a blunt instrument of mayhem. Use its knock-back ability to smash enemies into obstacles, reposition them, and clear the way forward. Solve challenges throughout the Dungeon with the Bell. Launch projectiles, move puzzle pieces, and utilize them creatively! Enter the Dungeon The warped, magical Dungeon houses the Guardians needed to restore the lost kingdom of Anuchard. Explore handcrafted, unique dungeons. Each was changed by magic to match the personality and aspect of its owner. Each is a unique challenge as a result. Master their unique mechanics to reach the slumbering Guardians - and unlock the deepest reaches of the greater Dungeon. Remember your duty: Confront and defeat the Guardians in set piece boss battles, to make them return to serve the people of Anuchard. Restoring Paradise Assist the Orchard along the path of a Bellwielder’s legendary quest. Rescue the souls of lost villagers trapped in the Dungeon, returning them to Orchard through the ritual of revival. Each revived villager contributes to your quest. Farmers, chefs, herbalists, all will help you and the rest of the village to restore Anuchard. Prepare for ever deeper ventures into the Dungeon. Cook up meals using ingredients provided by village residents, then head back into the fray!

Ganryu 2

Just For Games

After his victory against Kojiro, Musashi decided to meditate and try his hand at art, in the north of Japan, in the province of Hokkaido. During one of his meditations, a spirit contacted him : "Miyamoto Musashi, our fight is not over, I am waiting for you to finish our fight once and for all! All of Japan will pay for your insult! I'm waiting for you Miyamoto Musashi!” There is no doubt for Musashi that the voice was the Sasaki Kojirō’s one. His body was defeated, but his spirit remains, and his intentions were destructive. Miyamoto Musashi then understood that he would have to travel across Japan from north to south and go to the island of Ganryû-jima, where he firstly defeated Sasaki Kojirō, to fight again and liberate the spirit of Kojiro forever. Ganryu 2 is the sequel to the Ganryu game made by VISCO on NEOGEO back in 1999. The universe takes place in a feudal fantasy Japan which is strongly inspired by the story of Takezo Musashi, whose adventures are unfolded in a series of books (mainly "The Stone and the Sword"). You play as Miyamoto Musashi travelling through a 17th century fantasy Japan, from north to south to the island of Ganryu-jima where everything started between Musashi and Kojiro.

Mokoko X

NAISU

About Mokoko X was inspired from the arcade games from 1980s and 1990s, a popular gaming style back in the time. Mokoko X looks to resurrect the soul of the arcade genre while adding a modern touch. There are 32 levels in Mokoko X; each level has its own unique boss and minions. The main goal is assisting the unlucky girls that need help from the weird bosses. This is sometimes passing a mobile game level, sometimes helping out with the insects in the kitchen. Gameplay The main goal is conquering the bigger portion of the screen. While you are in your own area, you are safe from the enemies until your shield empties. You conquer new areas by drawing out of your area. Drawing, however, deactivates your shield and exposes you to danger. Your shield decreases constantly. If you do not conquer at a certain frequency, your shield will burn out and you will not be safe on your own areas as well. There are 3 difficulties in the game. The difficulty affects enemies, your shield, and required conquered area percentage for the victory. Stories Have you ever asked these questions to yourself: How do you stop a heartless but not soulless emperor? Can someone be a gyroscope and a guard dog at the same time? Why do those ducks attack us? Are there really demonic headphones in the world? Why do lizardmen need a plastic toy for summoning their god? How do you become a villain after revolting against the ant queen? What do scientists want from Albert the wonderful sea creature? Well, Mokoko X answers all these questions and more! Here are some missions! - Help out Iren with her arachnophobia and fight with the imaginary spider Mr.Fyodorov. - Protect Issa's house from getting pillaged by the ghost pirates stuck inside the anchors. They were not the bane of Seven Seas - the crew was killed in their first naval battle. - Toru wished to be a mosquito to annoy people. A local witch heard him, and transformed him into a mosquito. Now he causes trouble to people every night. Fight against the weird enemies... ... and learn about their absurd stories!
