The Trial

Stationary. Roomscale-friendly.

Pure archery. You're rooted to the spot — clearance for your arms, nothing more.

Hundreds of build combinations

Explosive, homing, piercing, bouncing. Stack arrow powers, modifiers, and summons after every clear.

Fight through Egypt — then beyond

Begin in the dust of Ancient Egypt. New eras unlock as the trial deepens.

First look

Watch the Bow Drawn

Footage from the in-development build. More to come as the trial deepens.
