About the Game


Guardian is a 2D side-scrolling, action-platformer that follows the story of Aria, an Erstwhile LARPer taking on the mantle of Arcas the Hunter, as she becomes an unlikely heroine when transported into Ancient Greece. Guide Aria on her comical quest through a dozen detailed levels, each packed with a unique variety of threats.

Key Features


Fully Voiced Dialogue

Enjoy the comical narrative of Guardian as delivered by Erstwhile's most outstanding voice actors!

Hack, Slash, and Dash to Victory!

Don't suffer the grind of jump-and-run platformers ever again. Take up your arms as you use the double jump, dash, and slash to swiftly traverse each level and overcome the foes in your path!

Lutes, Loot, and More Loot!

Loot coins and vigors from your fallen enemies to upgrade Aria's combat prowess! You'll need to build her skills to face down the rogue's gallery of bosses in store. So take advantage of the shops along the way!

Above all else, we hope you enjoy the Erstwhile LARP event!
