Short

Experience the Arabian legend of Zarqa as you bring justice to a corrupted magical peninsula. Control your temperament, wield an enchanted bow and create satisfying combat synergies to navigate through exotic biomes in this roguelike dungeon crawler.

Long

After her hometown is destroyed and her husband is killed, Zarqa vows to cleanse the earth of the corrupted mechanics powered by dark gem magic. Embark on a bittersweet journey across the mystical lands of Arabia. Face dangerous enemies, uncover ancient secrets, and stay alert, in a world ruled by fear and power, not everyone is who they appear to be.

Cleanse four fantastical biomes from a corrupting dark magic by stringing an ancient bow your husband left you after his death. Defeat challenging enemy waves to venture deeper into the world and to obtain powerful upgrades.

Forged from magical palm wood and infused with the power of dark gems, Layth’s bow is Zarqa’s main weapon to fight the world’s monsters. Discover a variety of different arrow-types to unleash the full power that this ancient relic holds.
