Once upon a time, a dark high priest invaded the kingdom of Greek. Two brave heroes entered the cursed castle and defeated the evil priest. According to legend, those two heroes became king and queen to rule the kingdom with wisdom and prosperity. After nearly 40 years of peace, from the ancient and distant Mogdoss castle, a new evil power arose like it happened in the cursed castle many years ago. Pampas and Selene —the children of the heroes past— take up their parents’ mantle, using their sword and wand to fight through the army of undead invading the land. The story starts as they manage (Storyline via IGDB)
