Short

String your enchanted bow and bring justice to a corrupted world in this uniquely open roguelike dungeon crawler based on the Arabian legend of Zarqa.

Long

Embark on a bittersweet journey based on the Arabian legend of the piercing-eyed woman who lost everything. After her village is destroyed and her husband is killed, Zarqa vows to take revenge and cleanse the earth of dark magic corruption. Cross mystical lands, face dangerous enemies, uncover ancient secrets, and stay alert in a world ruled by fear and power where not everyone is as they seem.

Cleanse Deserts, Forests, Canyons, and the Copper City of a corrupting dark magic. Each biome contains a unique variety of enemies, traps, and bosses intent on putting an end to your quest. The deeper you venture into the world, the more challenging the enemy waves become, and the more powerful the upgrades you’ll unlock on your journey for justice.

String the ancient bow from your deceased husband, Layth, forged from magical palm wood and infused with the power of dark gems that enable Zarqa to control her arrows. Discover and master five unique arrow types to unleash the full power that this ancient relic holds.
