Why play this instead of other similar titles?
If you are into highly synergic focused combat, battles of attrition, nasty surprises and learning through failure, Arhaekon might just ruin your weekend - in the best way.
No handholding. No tutorials that play the game for you. This game is rated 16+ for a reason!

Victory comes from party synergy, clever combos, and adapting. If you're here to button mash, you'll have a bad time!

The AI is ruthless. Forgiving enemies are for toddlers.

The learning curve assumes you're curious and literate. If reading a tooltip sounds exhausting, this isn’t for you!

Yes, the difficulty is intentional. No, it’s not impossible. We did the math. Literally.
