Grandmaster Kydal, the 'Pillar of Knowledge' and mentor for the Unfated. He pursues the origin of Starlight, a blighted corruption that devastated Yrdra, and became arbiter of the realm after rising to immortality. He knows all there is to tell - yet craves for what lies beyond.

Step forth Moriyan, The Unfated, and battle your way through the shattered lands of Urvara.

โโBATARA: FATE UNBOUND is a 2D dark fantasy souls-like, featuring hand painted visuals, inspired by the diverse beauty of Indonesian art and culture. Step forth Moriyan, The Unfated, and battle your way through the shattered lands of Urvara. Master parry-focused combat, clash with ambitious gods, find beauty in decay, and cleanse this world of corruption.
โโThis world is sick. It has been five hundred long years since the skies split, gods trembled, reality tore apart, and something dark crept in through the cracks. The world was enveloped in Starlight, a virulent fog that eats at the fates of all living things. In this world, everyone has a predetermined fate they must live with, yet there is one man with no fate at all.
โโPlunge into the world of Urvara as Moriyan, The Unfated, who barely escapes the clutches of the demented Kaisar Caraka as he flees his burning jungle village. Keep your wits about you as you become the target of The Pillars, godlike rulers seeking to use you in their games. Discover the source of deadly Starlight, unravel The Pillars' twisted schemes, and carve your path as the only Unfated in a predetermined world.
โโMoriyan wields the Blade of the Unfated, a mighty cleaver crafted from a shifting astral metal which he brandishes with fierce determination. Hone your skills in precise, fast-paced combat against bloodthirsty soldiers, twisted beasts, and dangerous spirits. Take on powerful bosses and even defy Death herself as you master intense parry-based swordplay.
PARRYING AND REFLECTING
โโFeel the rhythm of battle as you deflect astonishing flurries with precise timing and find the perfect opportunities to strike. Parry attacks from any direction to weaken an enemyสผs Stance bar. By staying aggressive, you can cut through their defenses, breaking their Stance and executing them.
EXECUTIONS
โโEvery single enemy in BATARA: FATE UNBOUND has their own unique finisher animation for you to relish. You can execute enemies by plunging from a high place, sneaking up from behind, or by breaking their stance.
DISCOVERING SWORD FORMS
โโUpon defeating certain powerful foes or completing NPC questlines, Moriyanสผs blade will gain the ability to mimic the shape of their weapons to unleash powerful attacks and abilities that can turn the tide of battle.
PARRY DEATH HERSELF
โโEven on the verge of death, rely on your reflexes as the Gaping Maw of Ulquibel closes in. By executing a perfect parry, Moriyan can defy death to live on. Yet, while you may seek to prolong your life, with each escape her jaws close faster and faster.

โโThe soundtrack of BATARA is grand, haunting, and intense during moments of tension, yet melancholic and touching during moments of emotional depth. Get a taste here!
close ups! the design of the spirit is very loosely inspired by the Polish folklore creature called turoล, Senseris' outfit on the other hand was influenced by carpathian regional clothing from mixed time periods. Lots of Hungarian, Ukrainian and Romanian elements :>
