›Story

Embark on a crusade through a medieval world forged from the ruins of technology where fanatical faith and unnatural science clash in the shadows of a crumbling society. The Church of Death stands at the gates of the grand city of Akratya.

Their banners raised, righteous steel in hand. Their holy conquest to eliminate the Cult of Life is about to begin…amongst it all stands you. You are no one, yet everyone, the results of desperate experimentation in the pursuit of Eternal Life. In the eyes of the Church, an icon of sin and heresy.

To others, validation of their relentless experiments. You stand in a world where there is no good nor evil, only justifications.

Ziêminal is a callous world with unrelenting creatures to face. It demands a unique approach if you desire any hope of survival. With the Binding System, absorb the essence of the fallen warriors you encounter throughout your journey and form a dominant party. Shape a playstyle catered to you through the skills and abilities of each warrior found, and unleash calamitous Morphstrikes through their combined powers to all who stand in your way.

The Church of Death beckons. Take up arms and answer its call.
