About The Game
Holly, a humanoid weapon sealed deep within a labyrinth due to its potential to cause humanity's downfall, swears vengeance upon humans after awakening from a slumber that spanned thousands of years.
Experience a tense roguelike action game where you protect the source of your stolen power, the altar. Destroy gates that block your way and aim to clear stages. Use the magic stones you acquire to evolve Holly and expand the altar to deepen your strategies.
▼Game Settings
Long ago, when humans were still developing advanced civilizations, a war engulfed the world.
Among the multitude of weapons created, an autonomous weapon resembling a young girl was completed. Her arms could crack the earth like a whip, demolish any building in her path, and her red eyes mercilessly killed people one after another.
This girl was named 'Holly' by the people, and due to her overwhelming power, she was sealed deep within the earth.
After tens of thousands of years, the only emotion Holly felt upon awakening from her slumber in the dark magic ruins was an insurmountable hatred for humans.
"Humanity, perish."
Even though her weapon functions have degraded and she can now only slightly damage the ground or walls, Holly's vendetta against the world above has just begun.
▼Features of Ancient Weapon Holly
1. Intense combat.
2. Strategic gameplay that lures enemies into pitfalls.
3. Exhilarating action of burying enemies you've trapped in pitfalls.
4. Holly's evolution and unlocking altar functions lead to deeper strategies.
