The video game will be released on July 12 on Steam, after more than a year in early access. Finally, we will be able to enjoy a full version of the title. Although it is still not known when it will arrive on other platforms, its launch has already been announced. I had the opportunity to enjoy the game thanks to an early access offered on Steam. This version included everything the video game had so far, making the experience very complete in all its aspects.
First Hours in Kaku: Ancient Seal
The story begins abruptly with an intense drumming scene involving Kaku, the protagonist. Kaku chases a striking flying pig while a large wild boar chases him. After a commotion, Kaku comes across an old man named Geiser, who will guide us through the first moments of the game.
Geiser will teach us the basics of crafts and cooking to improve our survival
After several minutes of exploration, puzzle solving and combat, we will face the first boss of the game: an ancient guardian of the rock form. By defeating him, we will be transported to a new place where we will find a sacred stone. By touching it, we will receive the power of awakening and we will equip ourselves with a great sword in the shape of lightning, which will give us great strength to defeat our enemies.
By eliminating all threats in the sector, the guard will appear next to the pig we were chasing at the beginning. This one will become our adventure companion and will help us teleport to the kingdom of ruins. Arriving at the center of this place, we will access four different regions, where we will have the mission of finding the four missing elements. The lack of these elements could cause major disasters in the region, so we will embark on a mission to recover them and restore balance to the earth.
Puzzles are stealing the video game
Kaku: Ancient Seal is a third-person open-world game that offers different ways to defeat enemies. The main options are three: a basic weapon with normal and strong hits to stun enemies by depleting their blue bar; a slingshot with unlimited ammo, useful for eliminating evil claw-shaped plants using special ammo scattered around the map; and powers acquired during the journey.
We can change and improve our weapons and equipment with the treasures we find. In the Kingdom of Ruins, we will improve basic skills and unlock new ones from the skill tree, in addition to crafting and cooking. The puzzles, present throughout the adventure, stand out in the gameplay. From small dots on the map to towers that require solving puzzles with limited movements to unlock information.
We will find explosive plants to break parts of the map and access secrets, as well as plants that purify toxic air. We will also find ruin keys, useful in the kingdom of ruins to open doors and access rooms with challenges such as solving puzzles, defeating enemies or overcoming a platform.s. Overcoming these challenges will give us rewards such as increases in life or resistance. The main mission of each area is to solve a large puzzle and face a formidable enemy. By defeating it, we will recover one of the four lost elements.
